  • Title: Hyperchloraemia: a non-specific finding in chronic renal failure.
    Author: Enia G, Catalano C, Zoccali C, Maggiore Q, Poon TF, Ward MK, Kerr DN.
    Journal: Nephron; 1985; 41(2):189-92. PubMed ID: 4047277.
    Abstract:
    To determine the prevalence of hyperchloraemia (plasma chloride concentration of 107 mmol/l or above) in chronic renal failure (CRF), we retrospectively analysed the acid-base and electrolyte status of 102 Italian and 53 English patients with impaired renal function. Hyperchloraemia was a frequent finding at all stages of CRF with a prevalence ranging from 30 to 50%. It was common both in tubulointerstitial nephropathies (45%) and chronic glomerulonephritis (39%). Hyperchloraemic patients were more acidotic than the normochloraemic.
