>14 - 60 yrs 1.74 - 3.64 g/l

>60 - 80 yrs 1.63 - 3.44 g/L

Female:

1-14 yrs 1.80 - 3.91 g/L

>14 - 60 yrs 1.80 - 3.82 g/l

>60 - 80 yrs 1.73 - 3.60 g/L

Turnaround Time: 24 hours

No reference range is reported for urine pH. Although urine pH normally ranges between 6.5 to 8.5 in healthy individuals, it varies with food consumption. Urine with a pH >6.0 is suggestive of alkali contamination or the presence of urea splitting bacteria. In a patient with metabolic acidosis, a urine pH >5.5 suggests a failure of urinary acidification which may indicate renal tubular acidosis.

Turnaround Time:
1 working day
