Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating can be a symptom of kidney stones, most common in adults ages 18 to 35 but also affect adults over 50. Kidney stones are small deposits of calcium or sometimes other minerals that have either formed or been excreted into the urine. They cause intense pain and discomfort in the abdomen. Kidney stones typically form when the urine is too concentrated, and calcium and other mineral levels become abnormally high.
To pass the stone, it needs to break down into smaller pieces. To do this, the stone must free itself from its surrounding tissue. This is where excessive sweating comes in; it’s one way for your body to help decrease the pain by expelling fluid from your body. Unfortunately, this may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
While there are many causes of kidney stones, especially if you’ve had them before or have a family history, excessive sweating may be a sign of them.
