Research indicates that urine pH influences the formation of kidney stones, with high or low pH levels leading to calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate stones. Maintaining a slightly higher urine pH than saliva pH is recommended to prevent kidney stones, as overly alkaline conditions can promote phosphate formation. Baking soda can be used to adjust urine pH levels if necessary.
