It's Only A Matter Of pH

Behold the chemical warfare happening in your urinary tract! When Proteus bacteria invade, they turn your pee alkaline (basic pH > 7), transforming from wimpy microbes into the INCREDIBLE HULK of kidney problems! These bacterial troublemakers literally weaponize your own chemistry against you, creating the perfect environment for painful renal stones to form. The bacteria are basically saying "I'm about to ruin this person's whole urinary system!" Your kidneys never stood a chance against this pH-shifting supervillain!
