Urine pH. Urine pH is used to classify urine as either a dilute acid or base solution. Seven is the point of neutrality on the pH scale. The lower the pH, the greater the acidity of a solution; the higher the pH, the greater the alkalinity.ecretion of an acid or alkaline urine by the kidneys is one of the most important mechanisms the body uses to maintain a constant body pH. A highly acidic urine pH occurs in: 1  Acidosis. 2  Uncontrolled diabetes.
acid in your urine, the more protected you are against forming new kidney stones. Citrate, used in calcium citrate supplements and in some medications (such as potassium citrate), is closely related to citric acid and also has stone prevention benefits. These medications may be prescribed to alkalinize your urine. How does citric acid protect against kidney stones? Citric acid makes urine less favorable for the formation of stones. In its natural form, such as from citrus fruits, citric acid does not alkalinize the urine as citrate (from medication) does. Rather, it prevents small stones from becoming âproblem stonesâ by coating them and. preventing other material from attaching and building onto the stones.
