  • Crystal of CuSO4 - Renal casts
  • Crystal of Calcium Oxalate - About 75% of kidney stones
  • Crystal of HgCl2 - Fecalith

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Understanding the Concept:

Urolithiasis and renal calculus mineralogy in veterinary and human clinical pathology.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Evaluating renal and urinary pathology:
- Calcium Oxalate ($\text{CaC}_2\text{O}_4$) is by far the most prevalent crystalline constituent of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones), accounting for approximately 75% to 80% of all diagnosed renal calculi (as calcium oxalate monohydrate [whewellite] or dihydrate [weddellite]).
- The other pairs describe non-physiological laboratory salts ($ ext{CuSO}_4, ext{HgCl}_2$).

Step 3: Final Answer:

Therefore, the correct pair is Crystal of Calcium Oxalate - About 75% of kidney stones, corresponding to option (B).
