Urine testing should be done at least once a year, even without symptoms. It’s a simple, quick, and affordable way to detect hidden inflammation, metabolic imbalances, and acid-base disturbances.
This test is especially important for:
- People with chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease)
- Pregnant women
- Children and teens with recurrent infections
- Athletes and physically active individuals
- Anyone who values preventive care
What a Basic Urine Test Can Show:
- Inflammation — in the kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract
- Leukocytes — indicators of inflammatory processes
- Sugar in the urine — an early warning sign of potential diabetes
- Protein — may signal kidney issues or excessive bodily stress
- Hidden conditions — that haven’t yet shown symptoms
- Salts, crystals, pH — key markers for metabolism and kidney stone risk
- Casts, bacteria, epithelial cells — essential indicators of urinary tract health

Normal urine pH ranges from 4.5 to 8. Deviations may suggest:
- Metabolic dysfunction
- Increased risk of kidney stones
- Systemic acidosis (due to diet, dehydration)
- Susceptibility to fungal infections, papillomas, or viral activity
- Oral issues such as cavities, gum inflammation, or bad breath
What Influences Urine Composition?
- Diet (especially high in protein, sugar, or salt)
- Hydration level (too little water can concentrate urine)
- Lifestyle and physical activity
- Use of medications or supplements
- Hormonal fluctuations
Can It Be Improved?
Yes! You can improve your urinary health and pH balance with:
- Nutrition (more vegetables and alkaline-forming foods)

- If necessary — tailored supplements or herbal remedies
- The key is early diagnostics and understanding what needs correction.
