Solution
The correct option is A Kidney
Most kidney stones are calcium stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate, phosphate, or maleate. Urinary sulfate is a reflection of dietary protein intake, particularly meat, fish, and poultry, which are rich in sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. Urinary sulfate can be used to assess dietary protein intake for nutritional purposes. A protein-rich diet has been associated with an increased risk for stone formation. Some patients form stones that are composed of a mixture of magnesium, ammonium, phosphate, and calcium carbonate, which is known as struvite. These stones form as a result of infection with certain types of bacteria that can produce ammonia.
