Overview
Urine pH is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of renal tubular acidosis.
Diagnostic study of choice
- Urine pH is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of renal tubular acidosis.[1]
- The following result of urine pH is confirmatory of renal tubular acidosis:
- Urine pH of 5.3 or less.
- In most cases of distal renal tubular acidosis, the urine pH is persistently 5.5 or higher
