Question

Which metabolic defects are associated with stone formation? hyperparathyroidism hypouricemia hyperthyroidism hypoparathyroidism?

Answer 1

I think the correct answer would be the first and the third option. The metabolic defects that are associated with stone formation are hyperparathyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Stone formation are caused by the crystallization of minerals that are not absorbed by the body properly usually it consists of calcium compounds. Both hyperparathyriodism and hyperthyriodism would cause the malabsorption of these minerals which is eventually would be linked to the formation of the stones.
