Core Tip	This article emphasizes the significant bidirectional associations among gallstone disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and kidney stone disease as presented in the study by Jiang et al. Through a multicenter cross-sectional study, systematic review, and meta-analysis, the research reveals robust evidence of these interconnections, independent of common risk factors like obesity and insulin resistance. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive screening and individualized prevention strategies for patients diagnosed with any of these conditions. By recognizing the shared pathophysiological mechanisms, healthcare providers can enhance chronic disease prevention, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the socio-economic burden associated with these prevalent diseases.
