Associated Conditions for Kidney stones

Excerpts on associated medical conditions for Kidney stones:

Gallstones and kidney stones are not related. They form in different areas of the body. If you have a gallstone, you are not necessarily more likely to develop kidney stones. (Source: excerpt from Kidney Stones in Adults: NIDDK)

About associated conditions for Kidney stones:

Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Kidney stones, and underlying causes may be causes of Kidney stones, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Kidney stones. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Kidney stones. People with Kidney stones may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Kidney stones is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis.
