Through physical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy may give information on the effect of drugs on kidney stones. Such investigation shows that the structural characteristics of surface defaults at the surface of kidney stones depend of the drugs taken by the patients.
No, can you send it to me?
many thanks .

You mean "oxalate in cystine kidney stones"? or CaOx kidney stones (for which we publish already "Examination of whewellite kidney stones by scanning electron
microscopy and powder neutron diffraction techniques, Michel Daudon, Dominique Bazin, Gilles Andr´e, Paul Jungers, Alain Cousson, Pierre Chevallier, Emmanuel V´eron and Guy Matzen, J. Appl. Cryst. (2009). 42, 109–115
In fact there is no kidney stone made of calcium carbonate but you can find calcium carbonate in pancreas. As you know better than me different polymorphs exist (calcite, aragonite ...). We have just begin a research on such pathological calcifications. I think there are some papers on such subject. I will send you ASAP a paper i will try to submit before the end of this year.
Sincerely
