Abstract
Patients with kidney stones regardless of composition showed the unique radiographic characteristic of increased renal papillary Hounsfield density. This was true for all calyces and for each kidney in all stone formers with a single renal calyceal stone. This radiographic evidence supports the role of renal papillary deposits or plaques in the pathophysiology of stone formation.
