What is the pH value of human urine?
The normal urine pH range is between 4.5 and 8. Any pH higher than 8 is basic or alkaline, and any under 6 is acidic.

Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.
The pH can control the availability of nutrients, biological functions, microbial activity, and the behavior of chemicals.
Studies suggest that the desired pH level of urine should be neutral to slightly alkaline for the person following an Alkaline or Keto-Alkaline diet.
A kidney problem may result in high pH in men. This is mainly due to kidneys not properly removing acids. You are recommended to consult with a neprologist at the earliest.
Human urine is composed primarily of water (95%). The rest is urea (2%), creatinine (0.1%), uric acid (0.03%), chloride, sodium, potassium, sulphate, ammonium, phosphate and other ions and molecules in lesser amounts
