What is the pH value of urine in normal people?
summary
We all know that the pH value of urine can reflect a person's physical condition. Generally speaking, if the pH value is normal, his physical condition will be better. There is no big problem, but if the pH value is high or low, it is not very good. Many diseases actually need to detect the pH value of urine. How much is the pH value of urine in normal people? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.
What is the pH value of urine in normal people?
First: under normal dietary conditions, the urine pH value is 4.6 ~ 8.0, with an average of 6.0, which means that the normal urine is weakly acidic. Nephritis, renal tuberculosis common acidic urine, type I renal tubular alkalosis can see alkaline urine. In the first few days after birth, the urine contains more uric acid, which is strongly acidic, and then close to neutral or weakly acidic, with pH of 5-7.
Second, if you often eat meat and vegetables, the protein in the food can be decomposed to produce acid substances such as sulfate or phosphate, which can be excreted through the kidney to make the urine acidic; When the urinary tract stones are formed by urate and cystine, the stones are mostly found in acidic urine. When acidosis and taking acid drugs such as ammonia chloride, the urine is mostly acidic.
Third: if vegetarians are the main ones, the organic acids in plants will produce less acidic substances after oxidation in the body, so the acidic substances excreted in the urine will be less, and the bases will increase to make the urine alkaline. The stones formed by oxalate, phosphate and carbonate mostly appear in alkaline urine; Cystitis, alkalosis, renal tubular acidosis, urinary tract infection, urine is also alkaline; And the urine that place time too long, thick hematuria all can make urine show alkalescence.
matters needing attention
1. Anus cleaning from front to back: because bacteria are unavoidable near the anus, when cleaning the anus after going to the toilet, it should be smeared from the urethral orifice to the anus (from front to back), so as to avoid bringing bacteria from the anus to the urethral orifice and causing infection. 2. Choose cotton underpants: avoid wearing tight pants and underpants, choose sweat absorbing and comfortable cotton underpants to keep the vulva clean and dry and reduce the chance of bacterial growth. Some people may be sensitive to fragrant sanitary products such as sanitary napkins and toilet paper, which may cause inflammation. Therefore, it is better to use less.
