There are no studies that allow a joint diagnostic or therapeutic intervention for the treatment of fatty liver and urolithiasis, perhaps because it is not known if there is an association between these 2 diseases. We aimed to identify a relationship between renal lithiasis and fatty liver disease by examining for common factors that could be used to reduce their incidence and complications. Our study supports the association of fatty liver and urolithiasis. Given the increase in frequency of these 2 diseases, we believe there is a common pathway within the malabsorptive and metabolic syndromes, thus leading for a new field of research to find a mechanism that allows timely interventions.
目前尚无研究能够针对治疗脂肪肝和尿路结石进行联合诊断或治疗干预，这或许是因为目前尚不清楚这两种疾病之间是否存在关联。我们旨在通过检查可能用于降低这两种疾病发生率和并发症的共同因素，来确定肾结石和脂肪肝之间的关系。我们的研究支持脂肪肝和尿路结石之间的关联。鉴于这两种疾病的发病率不断增加，我们认为在吸收不良和代谢综合征中有共同的发病途径，从而为寻找允许及时干预的机制开辟了一个新的研究领域。
