Stones composed predominantly of calcium phosphate averaged 9.3% of 41,000 stones of
renal origin in 11 series from 5 countries (22). We found that 11.5% of 4,014 stones were
composed predominantly of calcium phosphate and that these were the second most
common type in terms of composition (22). Many studies of calcium nephrolithiasis include
both patients with calcium phosphate calculi and those who form predominantly calcium
oxalate stones (1, 12, 16, 30, 34, 58, 60, 66), implying that the 2 forms of stones have the …
