An individual with chronic dehydration exhibits increased calcium oxalate crystal formation in the kidneys. Which risk increases as the urine's saturation level rises?

💡 Explanation

Increased urine saturation with calcium oxalate enhances crystal nucleation and growth because it exceeds the solubility product, therefore promoting aggregation into kidney stones, rather than preventing their formation via inhibitory proteins or altered filtration rates.
