Physiologic causes of elevated total urine alkalinity, such as vegetarianism, require no special treatment. Pathologic causes are commonly found in urinary retention, urinary tract infections, the use of thiazide or potassium-preserving diuretics and drugs such as sodium bicarbonate. At this time, it is necessary to target the urinary retention of people, release the obstruction; infected patients with anti-infective treatment; the condition allows the discontinuation of sodium bicarbonate and other drugs to reduce the total alkalinity of urine.
Normal human urine pH between 4.5 ~ 8.0, urine pH increased, physiological causes are mainly seen in vegetarians, no effect on health, no special treatment.
