title: Calcium oxalate monohydrate renal calculi. Formation and development mechanism.
abstract: Available information relevant to stone genesis on both calcium oxalate monohydrate crystallization and fine inner structure of papillary calculi is reviewed. Integration of attained facts facilitated formulating a feasible mechanism of papillary calculi formation and development. Medical implications of this mechanism are assessed.
