Abstract :
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. [GMJ.2019;8:e1289]
