A urine pH of 6 indicates the acidity or alkalinity of your urine; the normal range is 4.6–8.0, with an average of 6.0. Your value of 6 falls within the normal range, meaning your urine is mildly acidic—a normal finding. There is no cause for concern.
The yellow color of your urine suggests you should develop the habit of drinking more plain boiled water. This discoloration may result from insufficient fluid intake or consumption of foods with deep pigmentation. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods.
