An unquenchable thirst can be more than just a sign of dehydration; in the context of multiple myeloma, it may signal a deeper issue related to hypercalcemia. As calcium levels climb, the body's natural response is to dilute the blood, compelling an increased intake of fluids. This symptom not only disrupts daily life with constant trips to the water cooler but also places additional strain on the kidneys, which are already working overtime. Recognizing and addressing excessive thirst can help manage calcium levels and maintain kidney health.
