Urine pH

Urine pH describes how acidic or alkaline your urine is. It naturally varies through the day with diet, hydration and other factors, and usually falls between roughly 4.5 and 8.0.

Reference ranges may vary between laboratories. When you order a test, a BIG-registered doctor assesses your personal results in context. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.

Urine pH: what this test measures

This part of the dipstick measures the acidity of your urine. On its own a single value tells little, but persistent extremes can be relevant to kidney stones or certain metabolic conditions and are read together with the rest of the panel.

Urine pH: lifestyle and this value

Diet has a strong influence on urine pH: lots of fruit and vegetables tends to make it more alkaline, while a meat-rich diet tends to make it more acidic. Adequate hydration helps keep values stable.
