See below: A bladder infection is a type of urinary tract infection (the "urinary tract" encompasses the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). Uti due to yeast is uncommon in individuals who don't have immune system disease, catheters, or aren't hospitalized. A "yeast infection" typically refers to an infection of the vagina associated with itching and whitish discharge. Hope this helps!

Kidney infection: Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) generally causes fever, chills and very significant flank pain. One generally feels "sick". Bladder infection (cystitis) rarely causes systemic symptoms. Discomfort in the pelvic area and irritative voiding symptoms are typical. Yeast infections cause itching and vaginal discharge.
