What Causes Excessive Sweating During The Night With Bad Smell?

My husband is 62 and very clean, but at night he has nights sweats that smell like urine. His pillow is soaking wet and smells really bad, so entire room smells. What can be done, what can cause this? He has annual physicals, is a bit over weight, but in good health.
