What is the Best urine pH?
The PH value for human urine can range anywhere from 5 and 8.5 but most often is found between 5.5 and 7.5 in healthy individuals with a balanced diet. A value of 6 is average. High protein diets can lower PH (more acidic) and Vegetarian diets raise PH values (more alkaline). Urinary infection will increase PH value.
What is the urine pH in a dehydrated person?
The pH would be lowered due to the production of ketone bodies and excreted in the urine.
What effect may bacterial contamination have on urine pH?
Bacterial contamination will cause no effects if the sample is tested directly after collection. However, if the sample is allowed to sit, bacteria will multiply and raise the urine pH. Urine pH above 8 is abnormal.
What are organisms in urine called that cause infection?
"Mid-flow clean catch" urine from a healthy organism should be free of microbes. Urine from the beginning of the flow may contain bacteria washed from the perianal region. Bacteria in the urine would indicate an infection.

What is the normal pH level in urine?
The pH value for normal human urine is about 6.6, acidic.
If the blood is more basic what pH do you suppose the urine will be?
I am not sure why you connect blood and urine pH. The pH of blood is critical to bodily finction/life, urine is a waste product. The pH of urine varies widely from mildly acid to mildly alkaline.
How is a strep infection diagnosed from a urine sample?
Strep infection is not diagnosed from a urine sample.
Why does doctors tells us to drink bicarbonate soda when we have burning urine?
Bicarb helps change the pH of your urine and make it less acidic so it burns less.

How does starvation influence urine pH?
the urine becomes acidic
What does a low PH number in urine indicate?
PH shows how alkaline or acidic the fluid is. Low pH urine means acidic urine. When you eat food the urine turns alkaline shortly after that and becomes acidic at times when you are not eating. And therefore Starvation is a highly possible reason for low pH. Other than starvation, medications, diarrhea and kidney problems may cause low pH urine.
You mostly only drink water but if you have more than one coke it feels like you have a bladder infection is that normal?
Yes, in sensitive individuals the phosphoric acid in most soft drinks can change the pH (acidity) of the urine, which can result in a temporary feeling of cystitis.
