What causes yellow urine with odour accompanied by lower back pain and chills?
Patient: Hi Dr. Grief,  I have yellow urine with an odor even though I drink alot of water a day. I also have lower back pain which maybe kidneys, but I also have deg, disc  in my lower back (difficult to issolate the two). I've also had chills and sweats... but not very often.  No pain during urination. Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM, Lower back ache along with chills can be due to urinary tract infection. Yellow colored urine is not suggestive of urinary tract infection. In case of urinary tract infection, the urine is usually turbid or contains pus. In case there are other urinary symptoms like burning sensation, increased frequency of urination, urinary tract infection is likely. However, you need to get examination of the urine to assess the presence or absence of urinary tract infection.  Thanks and take care Dr shailja P Wahal
