Dietary habits could be the reason behind stone formation in kidneys.Methods: Twelve kidney stone samples were collected and analyzed together with typical foodstuffs frequently consumed in the Koya area using the x-ray fluorescent technique.Results: All the analyzed stones were found to be calcium-based.
