pH testing in catheter maintenance: the clinical debate.

The pH of urine is widely recognized as being a major contributory factor in urinary catheter encrustation.

This article examines the validity of various urinary pH testing methods and discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the uncertainty surrounding their practical value.
