Vitamin C toxicity causes kidney stones composed of Calcium or Uric Acid?
First Aid = Calcium
Goljan Rapid Review = Uric Acid

u really talking abt vit c???It definitely causes calcium oxalate stones. As I remember, it improves oxalate absorption.
I think it may also cause uric acid stones, because it acidifies urine, but I didn't read this before.
So did they say, which answer is correct !So I guess means the better answer for which stone caused by vitamin C toxicity would be oxalate stone?
Between, this is a question a came across on USMLE Rx. And they had both oxalate and uric acid stone as the questions options.
