Q: Nephrologist For Kidney Stone

My husband passed a kidney stone after 9 months of waiting, and after it was analyzed, the urology nurses are sending him onto a nephrologist. He didn't ask, but I am curious about why he would be referred from the urologist to a nephrologist. What types of problems would that indicate in the stone?
