    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Urinary pH variations pose health risks, particularly for individuals with a urostomy.
    • Alkaline urine is linked to significant stomal and peristomal complications such as hyperkeratosis, bleeding, infection, and calculi.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and summarize management strategies for urostomy complications related to urinary pH.
    • To highlight effective external and internal treatment methods for maintaining a healthy stoma and peristomal skin.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on urostomy care and urinary pH management.
    • Discussion of external treatments including appliance management and vinegar compresses.
    • Exploration of internal treatments such as dietary modifications and fluid intake.

    Main Results:

    • External measures focus on protecting the stoma and peristomal skin from urine exposure.
    • Vinegar compresses aid in restoring the skin's natural acid mantle.
    • Internal methods like cranberry juice, ascorbic acid, and increased fluid intake promote urine acidity.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of urostomy complications involves addressing urinary pH.
    • A combination of external protection and internal strategies, particularly increased fluid intake, is recommended.
    • Promoting acidic, dilute urine is key to preventing and treating stomal and peristomal issues.
