Yaz birth control has been linked to serious side effects including kidney damage and should not be used by women who have a history of kidney, liver or adrenal disease.
Among the long list of Yaz side effects is kidney infection. Kidney infections typically start when germs in the bladder travel up a patient’s tubes leading to the kidneys and then multiply. While acute kidney infection starts suddenly and ends abruptly, chronic kidney infection worsens over a period of time and progresses slowly. Chronic kidney infection has the potential to lead to kidney failure.

Fever and chills in conjunction with the listed symptoms may be a sign of kidney infection.
