What is urine pH less than 5.0?

Urine pH less than or equal to 5.0 may be related to poor diet, activity level, kidney disease and other factors.

1. Poor diet

intake of too much acidic food, such as meat, sugar, coffee, etc., may lead to urine pH less than or equal to 5.0.

2. Activity level such

as strenuous exercise or prolonged inactivity, urine pH may change, mainly because activity level will affect the body's metabolism and acid-base balance.

3. Kidney disease

Kidney is the main organ regulating the body's acid-base balance. When kidney function is impaired, urine pH may be abnormal. For example, renal acidosis is a disease that affects the acid-base balance of the kidney, which may lead to urine pH decrease.
