Chills can be a symptom of a kidney infection. In this section, we’ll discuss why chills occur and when to seek medical help.

Chills are often caused by a fever associated with a kidney infection. When your body is fighting an infection, it raises its temperature to help combat the invading bacteria. The rapid change in body temperature can cause chills as your body attempts to adjust.

Chills are characterized by sudden, involuntary shivering and a sensation of coldness. If you experience chills in conjunction with other symptoms on this list, it’s essential to take them seriously and consult a healthcare professional.

If you’re experiencing chills along with other kidney infection symptoms, seek medical help promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing complications and promoting a speedy recovery.
