Elevated myocardial injury markers predict mortality risk in CKD patients and are associated with CVD.

Article Synopsis
- Gallstone ileus is a rare cause of bowel obstruction that can be difficult to diagnose due to its vague symptoms and the inconsistent presence of Rigler's triad, which includes pneumobilia, bowel obstruction, and ectopic gallstone.
- An 80-year-old woman with abdominal pain was diagnosed with gallstone ileus after a CT scan showed pneumobilia and a calcified mass in the small bowel, which matched earlier images of a large gallbladder mass.
- The case demonstrates the need for healthcare professionals to review past imaging when diagnosing gallstone ileus, highlighting the value of an integrated electronic medical record system to improve diagnostic accuracy.
