Why do we get Alkali / basic urine when we eat acidic fruits?

I was talking with my sister about UTI and we don’t have cranberry juice so we thought any acidic fruit could do the trick to make your urine acidic (cause we learned at school that citrus fruits are acidic, right?) then I found out that citrus fruits make your urine’s pH even higher.

It’s all to do with how fruits are metabolised in the body and what they break down into before being expelled in urine.
This might help explain:

If someone is prone to uti’s It’s very important to drink lots of water to keep the bladder and urethra properly flushed out several times each day.
