The other day I passed my very first kidney stone.  It was not
pleasant.  Can anyone point me to a moderately sophisticated
discussion of (1) the formation of stones - where in the kidneys
do they accumulate and grow, etc. (2) the effect of diet changes
on susceptibility to future stones (I know it depends on the
composition of the stone, but more generally, how large a change
in diet is necessary to make a significant change in susceptibility?)
