There are many things that affect the pH of urine, such as diet, metabolism, and hydration level. The kidneys also play an important role in the body's acid-base balance. The kidneys produce urine that is more acidic or more alkaline in order to keep the blood at a normal pH.

The pH of urine is close to neutral (7) but can normally vary between 4.6 and 8. In persons with hyperuricosuria, acidic urine can contribute to the formation of stones of uric acid in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder.[13] Urine pH can be monitored by a physician[14] or at home.
A diet high in citrus, vegetables, or dairy can increase urine pH (more basic). Some drugs also can increase urine pH, including acetazolamide, potassium citrate, and sodium bicarbonate.[citation needed]
A diet high in meat can decrease urine pH (more acidic).[citation needed] Cranberries, popularly thought to decrease the pH of urine, have actually been shown not to acidify urine.[15] Drugs that can decrease urine pH include ammonium chloride, chlorothiazide diuretics, and methenamine mandelate.[16][17]

yep its variability depends on how much water u drink
the more water u drink the normal it gets Ph= 6-7 Color- transparent
the less water u drink the acidic it gets Ph - 4-5 Color - yellow
the more water u drink the normal it gets Ph= 6-7 Color- transparent
the less water u drink the acidic it gets Ph - 4-5 Color - yellow
