The pH of a urine sample is checked to determine?

Presence of bacteria
Sugar levels
Acidity and alkalinity
Protein levels

The correct answer is: Acidity and alkalinity

Checking the pH of a urine sample allows us to determine its acidity or alkalinity levels. This is important because it can indicate potential health issues such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or metabolic disorders. Option A, checking for bacteria, would require a different test such as a urine culture. Option B, sugar levels, would be detected through a urine glucose test. Option D, protein levels, would be measured by a urine protein test. Thus, option C is the most relevant answer in this scenario.
