Are stones more likely to form when urine is alkaline or acidic?
The formation of renal stones is related to the urine pH. Calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, and magnesium phosphate stones develop in alkaline urine; when this occurs, the urine is kept acidic. Uric acid, cystine, and calcium oxalate stones precipitate in acidic urine; in this situation, the urine should be kept alkaline or less acidic than normal. ChaCha on!
