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.
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

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 urine pH change for someone who just suffered an asthmatic attack?
Your CO2 builds up as a result of air trapping. CO2 and H2O (which is present throughout your body) make carbonic acid, which causes your pH to decrease (become acidotic). Your kidneys are one of the ways your body maintains its pH. Kidneys use a buffer system to help control pH. They make urine and since you are acidotic at the time of an asthma attack, the pH is decreased.
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.
