What amongst the following is responsible for formation of stone in human kidney? Correct Answer Calcium oxalate

The correct answer is Calcium oxalate.
Key Points

  • Calcium oxalate
    • Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of kidney stone.
    • Kidney stones are solid masses that form in the kidney when there are high levels of calcium, oxalate, cystine, or phosphate and too little liquid.
    • There are different types of kidney stones.
    • Calcium oxalate stones are caused by too much oxalate in the urine.
    • Oxalate is a natural substance found in many foods.
    • Your body uses food for energy. 
    • After your body uses what it needs, waste products travel through the bloodstream to the kidneys and are removed through the urine.

Additional Information

  • Calcium acetate
    • Calcium acetate is a calcium supplement used to control the level of phosphate in the blood for patients on dialysis due to severe kidney disease.
    • Calcium Acetate is a calcium salt of acetic acid.
    • Calcium is a mineral essential for many cellular functions including nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, cardiac function, bone formation, and capillary and cell membrane permeability.
    • Calcium acetate is administered orally to prevent or treat calcium deficiency and to treat hyperphosphatemia due to its phosphate-binding properties.
  • Sodium acetate
    • Sodium Acetate Anhydrous is the anhydrous, sodium salt form of acetic acid.
    • Sodium acetate anhydrous disassociates in water to form sodium ions (Na+) and acetate ions.
    • Sodium is the principal cation of the extracellular fluid and plays a large part in fluid and electrolyte replacement therapies.
    • Sodium acetate anhydrous is used as an electrolyte replenisher in isosmotic solution for parenteral replacement of acute losses of extracellular fluid without disturbing normal electrolyte balance.
  • Sodium Benzoate
    • Sodium benzoate is best known as a preservative used in processed foods and beverages to extend shelf life, though it has several other uses.
    • It’s an odorless, crystalline powder made by combining benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide.
    • Benzoic acid is a good preservative on its own, and combining it with sodium hydroxide helps it dissolve in products.
    • Sodium benzoate does not occur naturally, but benzoic acid is found in many plants, including cinnamon, cloves, tomatoes, berries, plums, apples, and cranberries.
    • Additionally, certain bacteria produce benzoic acid when fermenting dairy products like yogurt.

There are two huts of two brothers each on the opposites sides of a medium sized pond. Each brother has to use 12 stones in the pond to visit each other’s hut by crossing the pond. These stones are numbered serially using numbers one to twelve. A dragon fly is jumping on these stones as follows; every minute it jumps to the fifth stone from where it started. Thus if it jumps from the fourth stone it would go to the ninth stone, from the ninth stone it would go to the second stone and so on. Select the option that indicates the number of stones on which this dragon fly would be resting if it stops jumping at the 36th minute if it starts jumping from the stone that is numbered two.
"Too often we try to solve human problem with non-human tools and in terms of non-human data. It is my simple thesis that a human problem requires a human solution. First we have to learn to recognise a human problem when we see one; and second, upon recognising it, we have to learn to deal with it as such and not as it were something else. A human problem to be brought to a human solution requires human data and human tools". Who said this?
A kidney can be taken safely from a living person, and can save the life of a dying patient. Given that the demand for kidney transplants exceeds the supply of donated kidneys, the law in the India that forbids people to sell one of their kidneys should be abolished, because this would result in a greater number of successful kidney transplants. People are worried that it would involve rich patients exploiting poor potential donors. But selling one's kidney to support one's family is not very much different from supporting one's family by working in a dangerous occupation. Some patients have bought kidneys and received transplants in other countries, where the risks to their life from such operations can be great. Select an assumption supporting the above argument from following options.
