Urol Clin North Am. 1983 Nov;10(4):595-615.

About 80 per cent of renal stones seen in the western hemisphere are composed of calcium and oxalate. The authors discuss some of the metabolic disorders involved in calcium stone disease, describe a comprehensive metabolic work-up for the patient who forms stones recurrently, and suggest some guidelines for treatment.
