A member asked:

Does urine ph typically jump up and down throughout the day?

Depends: Urine ph in health is usually a reflection of dietary acid loading while eating and is generally high in vegetarian based diets while it is often lower in meat based protein intake. However there are known renal (kidney) tubular disorders that can be functioning abnormally and alter urine ph. It is interesting that you have the experience of checking urine ph on a frequent basis.

Yes: Very much so. We've just visited; get some pH strips and have fun. You'll discover the tremendous variability -- it's your kidneys doing fine-tuning so you don't have to worry about your blood pH and can do the things you enjoy.
