Can having a kidney stone cause the chills?
Kidney stones usually do not cause chills. Associated symptoms of kidney stones typically include:
- Severe pain in the back or abdomen, often described as a sharp, stabbing pain
- Pain that radiates to the groin or genitals
- Painful urination
- Frequent urination
- Cloudy or bloody urine
- Nausea and vomiting
If you are experiencing chills, it is important to seek medical attention, as chills can be a sign of an infection or other underlying medical condition.
