Technique used for non-surgical removal of kidney stone is called:
Correct answer: C. Lithotripsy
- A. Ultrasound
- B. Dialysis
- C. Lithotripsy
- D. X-ray
Explanation
Explanation:Lithotripsy means breaking stones. It is a non-invasive procedure. Kidney stones are broken with the help of shock waves.This option is incorrect because ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the body's internal organs and structures.This option is also incorrect because dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that involves filtering waste products from the blood using a machine.This option is also incorrect because X-rays may be used in the diagnosis and monitoring of kidney stones, but they are not used in the actual removal of the stones.

About Kidney and Urinary System
The kidney and urinary system remove nitrogenous wastes, regulate water and ion balance, and help maintain blood pH through filtration, selective reabsorption and secretion. Questions cover nephron structure, ultrafiltration, the loop of Henle, collecting ducts, urine formation and the roles of ADH and aldosterone, while distinguishing excretion from egestion.
