Background: A very strict control of urinary pH is recommended to maintain it between 5.5 and 6.2, preventing formation or recurrence crystals. Kidney stones are a common problem, with high rate recurrence, not altered by the success surgery. Medical treatment prevents recurrence. Potassium Citrate inhibits crystallization calcium salts. It influences calculogenesis increasing citrates alkalini...

The ability of the kidneys to excrete an acid urine is often assessed by correlating plasma carbon dioxide and urine pH. A low plasma CO2 should be accompanied by a low urine pH, provided that respiratory function is normal. Buchanan and Komrower (1958) consider that the renal excretion of hydrogen ions is normal in children if urine pH falls below 5 0, after a single dose of 0g./kg. of ammoniu...

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in the community, including among pregnant women. This study investigates turbidity, urine pH, and direct gram as predictors of symptomatic urinary infection Methods: A total 177 women with suspected UTIs based on clinical laboratories at community health center Makassar were collected from September to December 2021. The Urine sample was...

In order to clarify urinary metabolites of p-chloroaniline (p-CA), urine samples of a patient acutely poisoned with p-CA were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Urinary metabolites were extracted with diethylether at pH 1.0 and pH 10 from urine samples hydrolyzed with acid and base and from intact urine samples. Aliquots of the ethereal extracts were injected into the gas chromat...
