pH, Urine

This test measures the acidity or alkalinity of your urine to see how well your kidneys are balancing chemicals in your body. It helps show whether your urine creates an environment that encourages kidney stones or suggests a specific type of bacterial infection. Doctors use these results to evaluate kidney health and monitor how diet or medications affect your acid levels. However, this test cannot diagnose a specific medical condition or pinpoint the exact cause of an imbalance on its own.
