Normal range: 24 hr urine or spot urine

Comment: Normally the urine chloride excretion increased salt intake; postmenstrual diuresis (physiological); massive diuresis from any cause, e.g. salt losing nephritis; potassium depletion; adrenocortical insufficiency. Decreased in reduced salt and water retention, excessive extra renal chloride loss (e.g. vomiting, severe diarrhea, excessive sweating) and postoperative chloride retention

Sample: 24 hr urine, volume
