No relation: Gallstones and kidney stones are formed from different type of materials. You may have an underlying metabolic cause for your kidney stones like hyperparathyroidism increasing calcium levels in your body, but even then that does not cause gallstones. Gallstones are pretty common. See a urologist in consultation for appropriate management of kidney stones. Good luck!
