Question 1

urine ph of 5 mean?

Accepted Answer

Stones? : This may increase your risk of kidney stone formation. If you already have problems with kidney stones, this is something that can be treated with potassium citrate.

Question 2

what does a saliva ph of 5 indicate? i'm 27 and otherwise healthy.

Accepted Answer

Acidic!: Saliva ph of 5 is quite low!  that means your saliva is quite acidic. Makes me wonder if you didn't have it checked right after drinking a can of pop or a cup of coffee or something along those lines.

Question 3

what could cause a urine ph of 5.0 consistently with normal cmp blood test!?

Accepted Answer

That is normal.: Slightly acidic urine is completely normal. Many of the waste products that kidneys get rid of are acidic, and so urine ph usually is also.  Normal urin ph ranges from 5.0 to 8.0, with 7.0 being neutral.

Question 4

i have a vaginal ph of 5-6, sorenes, some mild itching, barely any discharge, no smell. no yeast infection medication has worked so far. ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If your symptoms have been worsening like this, you need to see your doctor for an evaluation to see what's going on.

Question 5

how normal is a urine ph level of 5?

Accepted Answer

In normal range: The ph scale measures acidity and basicity. Higher ph means the urine is more basic and lower ph means it is more acidic. Normal range for urine can be between 4.5 - 8.0 according to most sources. Medication and various medical conditions can affect ph, including multiple issues at one time making deciphering the meaning of the ph without more info difficult.

Question 6

dentists recommend not to brush right after having something acidic. does this include milk(has a ph of 6.5-6.7) or is the ph high enough to be safe?

Accepted Answer

Acid erosion: Generally speaking, juices, sodas and other liquids below a pH level of 4% are considered highly erosive to teeth. I would not worry about brushing right after having liquids at the higher pH levels such as milk.

Question 7

what does it mean to have "many" non squamous cells, ph of 8.5 and leuk esterase of 15 in urinalysis. a culture and sensitivity was also performed on the same urine which came out negative?

Accepted Answer

: When you urinate the epithelial lining could come with the urine and it does not mean anything bad. The ph is a reflection of what was excreted which means it is alkaline to keep the body stable things have to be removed. The important thing is the culture was negative, however you did not mention why it was done and how you are doing which is more important.

Question 8

what does it mean to have "many" non squamous cells (range is few..moderate or many)ph of 8.5 and leuk esterase of 15 in urinalysis. i do not have infection..culture and sensitivity was negative?

Accepted Answer

: Prob normal.  Always repeat  a dipstick and microscopic urine test to confirm is my advice. Could be just a bit dehydrated when urine collected.  That is you put out a more concentrated urine which can influence many things in urine testing.  Then if they differ do another one and take best or 3.  Then discuss with your Dr as they should know you better than we do. Such a why urine was done?

Question 9

in a 16 mo old boy is 11% fecal fat considered normal? what about a stool ph of 8.5?

Accepted Answer

Stool is alkaline: The best way to evaluate stool fat is by collecting 24 hours stool. The normal is less than 7 grams. The stool is usually alkaline so ph of 8.5 is not worrisome.

Question 10

is it possible to have seminal ph of 7.5 and 30%  active progressive movement, 26% non progressive and 44% non motile spermatozoa making a 56% motility? note motility assessment was done after 1 hour?
2. if other results are 
20% liqifaction after 1 hour

Accepted Answer

Possible ...: The reported findings in semen analysis for male infertility is possible. However, the significance of individual finding has to be correlated with clinical profile. Normally and preferably, semen liquefies in 30 minutes with sperm concentration &gt;15-20 million/ml, motility &gt;60%, etc. But all the figures are just give a rough probability to conceive if the environment for sperm &amp; egg to meet is ok.
