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 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 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...
متن کاملUrinary pH and stone formation.
The formation of various types of kidney stones is strongly influenced by urinary pH. An alkaline pH favors the crystallization of calcium- and phosphate-containing stones, whereas and acidic urine pH promotes uric acid or cystine stones. The activity of many transport processes involved in calcium, citrate and phosphate handling are sensitive to changes in systemic or local pH as shown for sev...
متن کاملMechanism of urinary calcium regulation by urinary magnesium and pH.
Urinary magnesium and pH are known to modulate urinary calcium excretion, but the mechanisms underlying these relationships are unknown. In this study, the data from 17 clinical trials in which urinary magnesium and pH were pharmacologically manipulated were analyzed, and it was found that the change in urinary calcium excretion is directly proportional to the change in magnesium excretion and ...
