There are many different types of test done with urine sticks you don't mention what test was even being done, was it for ph, ketones, blood, protein, pregnancy? Also were the test strips current did you check the expiration date? Normal ph range is between 4.6 and 8.0 . Ph value can be effected by what you eat so it can change just be eating a meal. A high ph may indicate a diet high in fruits and veggies or dairy products, it could indicate a urinary tract infection , vomiting may cause an increase in ph and there are some medications that may cause a rise in ph. An elevated ph may or may not mean anything. If your worried or have other symptoms you should seek the advice of a physician.

My best advice would have to be go see professional help, like a doctor for instance. Asking strangers on Yahoo Answers for medical help probably won't help you that much at all. I hope you get the help you need.

Could mean an infection but the only way to know for sure is to have this evaluated by your dr to see what they think could be going on.
