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.
