Is a chloride level of 110 bad?
A chloride level above 110 mEq/L in critically ill septic shock patients is associated with elevated hospital mortality. Normal saline use during resuscitation should be administered cautiously to treat non-anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.
Blood chloride levels are typically considered normal when they fall within the range of 98-107 mEq/L. A level of 110 mEq/L is considered excessive and can lead to severe health problems, such as hypertension and cardiovascular issues.
