Kidney stone composition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 
.

CONCLUSION: This study represents one of the largest characterizations of stone composition in the Middle East. There remains a significant gender disparity in stone prevalence in the Eastern Province of KSA, with males affected to a significantly greater extent. Calcium oxalate is the most common type of stone, and this is true for both men and women. Future investigations of dietary and environmental factors can build on these initial epidemiologic findings.
