Description

Urine acidification by cranberry juice was studied in urostoma group（10 patients）and normal group（10 cases）. Urine pH was measured before drinking 100％ cranberry juice and two hour later. In normal group urine pH was significantly lowered（p<0. 05 by paired t-test）from 6. 0±0. 73 to 5. 66±0. 43（mean±SD）. In urostoma group urine pH 7. 45±1. 23,which was higher than normal group,was significantly lowered（p<0. 001）to 6 .84 ±1 32.<br>　There was no significance in the degree of acidification between two groups. This study disclosed that 100％ cranberry juice,even a low volume （100 ml）,can lower urine pH for two hours. And we reported one case which might indicate long-term effect on urine acidification by drinking 150 ml cranberry juice every day. It was discussed if cranberry juice is useful for stoma care.
