    Kidney stones are produced due to deposition of uric acid and:

    A)  silicates

    B)  minerals

    C)  calcium carbonate

    D)  calcium oxalate

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     During urine formation, salts and other wastes are dissolved in the filtrate and pass with it out of the kidney as urine. But sometimes, however, certain salts (such as calcium oxalate) do not stay dissolved but instead form crystals called calcium stones. These can partially block the flow of the urine from the kidney.
