C. Dietary factors, such as high intake of certain foods (e.g., animal protein, sodium, oxalate-rich foods) and low intake of others (e.g., fluids, calcium), can influence the composition of urine and contribute to the formation of renal stones. For example, calcium oxalate stones can form when there is an imbalance of calcium and oxalate in the urine, while uric acid stones can form in individuals with high purine diets.
A. The frequency of renal stones can vary depending on factors such as climate, dietary habits, and genetic predisposition, but it is not specifically associated with the northern United States.
