does not lead to kidney stones of the calcium oxalate type.
It is the oxalate that is the culprit. For people with kidney stone histories,
the type of calcium recommended is calcium CITRATE.
A bacteria called Oxalobacter fomigenes normally removes oxalate
in the GI tract so it does not build up in the body: antibiotics can kill this off, leading to oxalate absorption

It is thought that excess calcium may be deposited in tissues when magnesium is low, so the other posters here are correct, that a quality magnesium
product may help. But in order to remove calcium already there, you may
have to consider chelation. If you Google chelation there are tons of articles.
I'd hold off on a stent for now, given the bad press just out on those. There are new ones coming out that dissolve...those may have a better prognosis.

It is unclear what they "do" so that they can dissolve away, at least to me.
