Which of the following diseases shows formation of insoluble mass of crystallized salts (oxalates, etc.)within the kidney?
Renal calculi
Uremia
Kidney failure
Nephritis
Disorders of the Excretory System -
1. Uremia: Caused by high concentrations of urea, uric acid, creatinine and a few less important compounds. In such patients, urea can be removed by a process called hemodialysis.
2. Renal Failure (RF) or Kidney Failure: Renal failure is a decrease or cessation of glomerular filtration in humans. In acute renal failure (ARF), both the kidneys abruptly stop working. It can be caused due to low blood volume, decrease cardiac output, damaged renal tubules, kidney stones, etc. It can result in oedema, less erythropoietin for adequate RBCs production and causing anaemia, etc.
3. Renal calculi (Kidney Stones): It is the formation of an insoluble mass of crystallized salts (oxalates, etc.)within the kidney.
Hence, the correct option is Renal calculi
