what the risks are female urinary tract, male urinary tract, ph urine test, ph, urine, a urine ph test measures the ph, acidity, urine, acid loading test collect a "clean-catch", midstream, urine sample, obtain a clean-catch sample, men, boys should wipe clean the head, the penis, women, girls need to wash the area between the lips, the vagina, soapy water, rinse well, start to urinate, allow a small amount to fall, toilet bowl, clears the urethra of contaminants, clean container, catch, 1 to 2 ounces of urine, remove the container, urine stream, give the container, assistant, infants, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra, open a urine collection bag, a plastic bag, an adhesive paper on one end, place it on infant, males, entire penis, in the bag, adhesive attached, skin, females, bag, over the labia, place a diaper over the infant, bag, check baby frequently, remove the bag, infant has urinated into it, active infants, take a couple of attempts, lively infants, displace the bag, causing an inability, obtain the specimen, urine is drained into a container, transport back, health care provider, advise to stop taking certain drugs, affect the results, eat a normal, balanced diet, several days, submit a urine sample, specimen is contaminated by vaginal discharge, bleeding, collect a clean-catch sample, collection is taken, infant, a couple of extra collection bags necessary, test involves only normal urination, no discomfort, ph, measure of how acidic, alkaline a fluid, blood, urine, ph in blood is maintained, the narrow range of 7.35 to 7.45, body maintains this narrow range by using buffers, chemicals, switch back, forth between 2 forms, a weak acid, weak base, buffers, temporary "stop gaps" to avoid dramatic changes in blood ph, long-term correction of blood ph, the kidneys to excrete the acid, base in urine, blood ph is low, acidic, kidneys react by excreting more acid, in the urine, urine ph becomes more acidic, blood ph returns to normal, checking urine ph is helpful, identifying body acid-base imbalances, in other cases, a blood ph test is needed, want to modify urine ph to help, prevent kidney stones, acidic urine is associated, xanthine, cystine, uric acid, calcium oxalate stones, alkaline urine is associated, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate stones, medications, more effective in acidic, alkaline environments, streptomycin, neomycin, kanamycin, more effective in treating urinary tract infections, the urine is alkaline, normal values range from 4.6 to 8.0, a high urine ph, alkaline urine, gastric suction, renal failure, renal tubular acidosis, urinary tract infection, vomiting, a low urine ph, acidic urine, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, diabetic ketoacidosis, diarrhea, starvation, test also performed to investigate, alkalosis, interstitial nephritis, renal tubular acidosis, distal, sepsis, no risks, a diet high in citrus fruits, vegetables, dairy products, increase urine ph, drugs, increase urine ph, acetazolamide, potassium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, a diet high in meat products, cranberries, decrease urine ph, drugs, decrease urine ph include ammonium chloride, chlorothiazide diuretics, methenamine mandelate, urine ph, various factors after collection, leaving the urine standing in an uncovered container, bacteria, increase the ph, they break down urea to ammonia.
