Abstract
The prevalence of attached stones in calcium oxalate stone formers (48%) is greater than that previously reported for the general population. Attachment appears to be on Randall's plaque. The high prevalence of attached stones and the appearance of the attachment site are consistent with a mechanism of calcium oxalate stone formation in which stones begin as plaque overgrowth.
