What Causes Body Chill When Suffering From Kidney Disease?

I have chronic kidney illness....not past stage one...recently went to the beach and began a fever. took Tylenol fever went away...had dinner and a glass of wine...sudden internal chill without fever. finally went away, but today after returning from the beach I have fever again...urine is cloudy....my renal doctor called me in a script for a bladder infection...question...could a bladder infection cause this chill or would it be my kidneys causing the problem

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on your symptoms you have UTI and it is insignificant whether it is kidney infection or bladder infection.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily .Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water .To keep your urine dilute .
