The type of kidney stones which can also cause infection in kidney are:
Correct answer: B. Struvite Stones
- A. Calcium Oxalate Stones
- B. Struvite Stones
- C. Uric Acid Stones
- D. Cystine Stones
Explanation
The correct answer is Struvite Stones, which form as a result of urinary tract infections caused by certain bacteria that produce ammonia. This leads to the formation of magnesium ammonium phosphate stones, commonly known as struvite stones. They can cause recurrent urinary tract infections and are less common than calcium oxalate stones. Calcium oxalate, uric acid, and cystine stones are not typically associated with infections, as they form due to metabolic disorders or dietary factors.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
