What urine pH is reflective of an adequate DCAD ration?
The range for urine pH when most DCAD rations are effective is between 6.0 and 7.0. pH readings of less than 6.0 indicate too much DCAD in the ration. When the urine pH is above 7.0, the DCAD ration will probably be ineffective. Keep in mind that this is a suggested range and the pH reading should be interpreted in association with the prevalence of clinical metabolic diseases.
