Laboratory assay overview
The urine pH is a crude measure of the acid-base balance of the body. It may be helpful in determining subtle presence of distal renal tubular disease or pyelonephritis. Urine pH is useful for identifying crystals in urine and determining predisposition to form a given type of stone. See table. pH, Urine Conditions Associated With Acid Urine Metabolic acidosis Diabetes mellitus Diarrhea Starvation Respiratory acidosis Emphysema Sleep Renal failure with lack of NH3 buffer Gastric suction and vomiting Diuretic therapy Postprandial alkaline tide (one hour after meal) Fanconi syndrome and Milkman syndrome (increased urinary loss of bicarbonate) Alkali therapy (citrate, bicarbonate) Conditions Associated With Alkaline Urine Respiratory alkalosis Metabolic alkalosis Urea-splitting bacteria ( Proteus sp) Vegetable diet
Newborns: 5.0−7.0; thereafter: 4.5−8.0

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
Always review your personal lab results with a licensed clinician, or track your lab history and health goals in Aumnivida.
