The interaction between organs is a crucial part of modern medicine. As a very prerequisite to manage a disease, practitioners should have a full awareness of the related organs. Kidney and heart are two vital organs that are closely interconnected in various fields. These two organs have a lot of common risk factors for making a person unhealthy; therefore, if you prevent the disease in one of them, the other's morbidity might be alleviated as well. Among them, nephrolithiasis and myocardial infarction (MI) have more risk factors in common, and both could be fatal. Also, these two diseases are important regarding the prevalence, incidence, and burden of disease. Some studies confirm the relationship between MI and nephrolithiasis; however, further researches are needed to discover the exact direction of their relationship. The present review aims to explain the mechanism of MI and nephrolithiasis; clarify the relationship between these two disease based on physiological, pathological, and clinical studies; and propose some solutions for the prevention and treatment of such diseases.
器官之间的相互作用是现代医学的关键部分。作为治疗疾病的一个非常必要的前提，从业者应该充分了解相关器官。肾脏和心脏是两个重要器官，在各个方面都紧密相连。这两个器官有许多导致人不健康的共同风险因素；因此，如果预防其中一个器官的疾病，另一个器官的发病率也可能会降低。其中，肾结石和心肌梗死（MI）有更多共同的风险因素，且两者都可能是致命的。此外，这两种疾病在患病率、发病率和疾病负担方面都很重要。一些研究证实了MI与肾结石之间的关系；然而，还需要进一步研究以发现它们关系的确切方向。本综述旨在解释MI和肾结石的机制；基于生理、病理和临床研究阐明这两种疾病之间的关系；并提出一些预防和治疗此类疾病的解决方案。
