Urine pH provides important clues about your body’s internal processes and helps guide prevention or treatment of specific health issues:
- Kidney Stone Prevention
- Monitoring urine pH can help prevent stone formation by identifying whether the urine is too acidic or alkaline and adjusting diet or medication accordingly.
- Infection Management
- Urine pH helps detect and manage UTIs caused by bacteria that thrive in either acidic or alkaline conditions.
- Metabolic Monitoring
- Abnormal urine pH can indicate systemic conditions like diabetes, respiratory disorders, or imbalances caused by diet.
- Tailored Nutritional Guidance
- Understanding how diet impacts urine pH can inform dietary changes to improve health outcomes, such as reducing acid load in high-protein diets.
