Vegetarians, those that eat many vegetables and not too much protein have a urine pH closer to alkaline or basic to where the kidneys are not having to work hard at all.
The blood has to be 7.4 always. However, to have a urine pH that is higher than 7.4 is ok. One definitely would not want it to be lower. The more basic-- the better for your kidneys. For your body to break down excess protein, means your kidneys are having to process it's nitrogenous bi-products. & in order for the kidneys to help regulate pH to keep the blood at 7.4 they have to compensate much more.
