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.
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.
What is the optimal pH for urine?
PH 6.0 to 6.5 in the morning PH 6.5 and 7.0 in the evening
Is human urine an acid or base?
Normally human urine has a pH of about 6 which makes it an acid. However if something is not right the pH of urine can be higher or lower which could make the urine basic but this is not normal.
Is pH paper for fish tanks good for urine tests?
No. Water has a different ph from urine.
What is the normal pH level in urine?

How does a urinary tract infection influence urine pH?
It results in a high ph, become more basic

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.
How does starvation influence urine pH?
the urine becomes acidic

What does pH mean in urine?
pH is a way to measure how basic or acidic something is. Human urine runs from nearly 5 to 8 on the scale, but 7 seems to be average. Just for the sake of comparison, filtered water is also a 7 on the pH scale.
Is urine usually alkaline?
Urine is usually acidic, varying from anywhere between 4.5 to 7.8 on the PH scale.
What are the factors involved in collecting a urine sample?
If delivery of the urine specimen to the laboratory within one hour of collection is not possible, it should be refrigerated. The answer said that various components of urine undergo decomposition in different periods of time. MY question is, if you refrigerate urine, when does pH begin decomposition and become more alkaline? It is my understanding that after 30 minutes at room temperature, the pH portion of the test is no longer accurate. Let's say you catch the urine and within 5 minutes you refrigerate it. Will that pH be as accurate at 1 hour after collection as it would have been if tested within say, 20 minutes of being collected? How about 2 hours? 3 hours? and so on.
