Final answer:

Factors such as Gout, dehydration, and hyperparathyroidism can increase the risk of developing kidney stones.


Explanation:

Gout, dehydration, and hyperparathyroidism are factors that can increase a client's risk of developing nephrolithiasis (kidney stones). Gout leads to high blood uric acid levels, dehydration can lead to concentrated urine formation, and hyperparathyroidism is associated with calcium phosphate stones, which are a type of kidney stone.
