Optimization of urinary dipstick pH: Are multiple dipstick pH readings reliably comparable to commercial 24-hour urinary pH?
PURPOSE Accurate measurement of pH is necessary to guide medical management of nephrolithiasis. Urinary dipsticks offer a convenient method to measure pH, but prior studies have only assessed the accuracy of a single, spot dipstick. Given the known diurnal variation in pH, a single dipstick pH is unlikely to reflect the average daily urinary pH. Our goal was to determine whether multiple dipsti...
متن کاملpH Measurement with a fiber-optic tissue-pH monitor and a standard blood-pH meter.
Continuous monitoring of the pH of tissue with a glass electrode was initially introduced by Stamm et al. (1). Its potential value in monitoring the high-risk fetus during labor has been demonstrated in several studies (2-4). However, this technique has not been clinically accepted for routine use in labor, mostly because of problems with the application and sustained proper attachment of the r...
متن کاملRE: Dipstick Spot urine pH does not accurately represent 24 hour urine PH measured by an electrode
OBJECTIVES To determine whether spot urine pH measured by dipstick is an accurate representation of 24 hours urine pH measured by an electrode. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed urine pH results of patients who presented to the urology stone clinic. For each patient we recorded the most recente pH result measured by dipstick from a spot urine sample that preceded the result of...
متن کاملThe Youden pH Meter
Sørensen used a slide-wire potentiometer to make his pH measurements. Here a known potential is applied to counterbalance the potential of the hydrogen cell (i.e. the hydrogen electrode plus the counter electrode) and to reduce its current output to zero, at which point the value of the applied counter-potential is equal to that of the cell potential. Since the point of balance is indicated by...
متن کاملDipstick Measurements of Urinary pH have Potential for Monitoring Individual and Population Dietary Behaviors
The health benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption are well recognized and a recent cancer prevention report suggested modifications to diet that included reductions in red meat and increases in plant foods. However, populations in the US and UK still do not meet the 5-A-Day target for a number of reasons, including motivational issues. A readily accessible measure or biomarker of dietary c...
