Chloride and its Clinical Implications in Today’s Clinical Practice: Not an Orphan Electrolyte

Abstract

Narender Goel*

Though chloride is the predominant extracellular anion, it is mostly seen just as an anion accompanying sodium and hardly receives attention in textbooks. But independent evaluation of serum chloride may unearth several clinical and acid-base disorders. It is used in formulas to estimate serum anion gap, urine anion gap, and strong ion difference (Stewart method). Several critical functions of a cell such as maintenance of cell volume, neutralization of H+ in lysosomal vesicles, epithelial fluid transport, change in cell membrane potential and ligand-gated transmission in the post-synaptic membrane utilize chloride channels. In addition, chloride forms an integral part of anion exchanger proteins coded by SLC26A gene family. Chloride is an essential component of intravenous fluids used in day-to-day clinical practice. The role and contribution of chloride rich fluids and resulting acidosis in causing inferior outcomes in sepsis, renal vasoconstriction, and acute kidney injury has been debated. Numerous genetic diseases are known to be related with chloride channels and proteins abnormalities. In the following review, I would like to bring much needed attention towards importance of chloride in human physiology. The following hypothetical clinical case will be just a spark for fiery chloride.
