Clinical Significance
An increase in urine chloride may result from water
deficient dehydration, diabetic acidosis, Addisons
disease, and salt-losing renal disease. Decreased urine
levels are seen in congestive heart failure, severe
diaphoresis, and in hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis,
due to prolonged vomiting.
