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
