Urine pH

Urine pH

Reference Range

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
