Urine chlorine

The total amount of chlorine in the body is about 100g, which is mainly present in the form of chloride ions in tissues and body fluids, which is the anion with the largest amount of extracellular fluid. It is closely related to the content of bicarbonate (HCO-). When the serum chlorine concentration is lowered, in order to keep the total number of anions unchanged, the bicarbonate is compensated to increase, and vice versa. Chloride plays an important role in regulating water, osmotic pressure and acid-base balance in the body. Chloride ions in the body are often absorbed and metabolized with sodium ions, and the changes are often consistent. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Found in dehydration, aldosteronism, rickets, chronic renal insufficiency, heart failure, shock and so on. Normal value: Urinary chlorine (adults in Cl-): 170-255mmol/24h Above normal: Found in renal tubular injury, Edison's disease, diabetic ketotoxicosis, hyperparathyroidism and so on. negative: Positive: Tips: It is forbidden to exercise vigorously. The drugs such as licorice, stomach ketone, amphetamine, amphotericin B and barbital should be stopped one week before the examination. Drink alcohol for 3 days before the test. The middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Normal value Adults in terms of Cl-: 170 ~ 255mmol / 24h; In terms of NaCl: 170 to 255 mmol / 24 h; Children <4mmol/kg/24h. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Reduced: seen in dehydration, hyperaldosteronism, rickets, chronic renal insufficiency, heart failure, shock, etc. Elevation: seen in renal tubular injury, Edison's disease, diabetic ketotoxicosis, hyperparathyroidism and so on. People who need to be tested: people with abnormal renal function, heart failure, and urine sugar. The result is low, the disease may be high : the result of rickets is high, the disease may be: the precautions for hyperparathyroidism Before the test: prohibit strenuous exercise, maintain a good diet and work schedule, stop the licorice, raw stomach ketone, amphetamine, amphotericin B, barbital and other drugs one week before the test. Drink alcohol for 3 days before the test. At the time of examination: a part of the urine is discharged first to wash away the bacteria remaining in the urethra and the anterior urethra, and then the middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Inspection process The urine of the subject was collected and detected by chemical methods. Not suitable for the crowd Generally no taboos. Adverse reactions and risks Generally no complications and harm.
