Clinical Significance
Chloride is part of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis that measure chemicals in the fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.
Movement of chloride from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to brain or blood is one of the factors that may be involved in regulation of CSF, which is important to CSF acid-base balance.
