🗑
Bacteria, UTI, or a diet high in citrus fruits or vegetables may cause   increased urine pH  
🗑
starvation, dehydration, or a diet high in meat products or cranberries may cause   decreased urine pH  
🗑
to prevent or treat urinary calculi from xanthine, cystine, uric acid, and calcium oxalate urine pH should be kept   alkaline  
🗑
to treat urinary calculi from calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium phosphate urine pH should be kept   acidic
