Abstract
Oral poisoning can trigger diverse physiological reactions, determined by the toxic substance involved. One such consequence is hyperchloremia, characterized by an elevated level of chloride in the blood and leads to kidney damage and impairing chloride ion regulation. Here, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis to investigate genes or proteins linked to hyperchloremia. Our analysis included functional enrichment, protein-protein interactions, gene expression, exploration of molecular pathways, and the identification of potential shared genetic factors contributing to the development of hyperchloremia. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that oral poisoning owing hyperchloremia is associated with 4 proteins e.g. Kelch-like protein 3, Serine/threonine-protein kinase WNK4, Serine/threonine-protein kinase WNK1 and Cullin-3. The protein-protein interaction network revealed Cullin-3 as an exceptional protein, displaying a maximum connection of 18 nodes. Insufficient data from transcriptomic analysis indicates that there are lack of information having direct associations between these proteins and human-related functions to oral poisoning, hyperchloremia, or metabolic acidosis. The metabolic pathway of Cullin-3 protein revealed that the derivative is Sulfonamide which play role in, increasing urine output, and metabolic acidosis resulted in hypertension. Based on molecular docking results analysis it found that Cullin-3 proteins has the lowest binding energies score and being suitable proteins. Moreover, no major variations were observed in unbound Cullin-3 and all three peptide bound complexes shows that all systems remain compact during 50 ns simulations. The results of our study revealed Cullin-3 proteins be a strong foundation for the development of potential drug targets or biomarker for future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a recognized comorbidity in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), although the exact etiology is unclear. The unique physiology of DKA makes dehydration assessments challenging, and these patients potentially receive excessive amounts of intravenous fluids (IVF). We hypothesized that dehydration is over-estimated in pediatric DKA, leading to over-administration of IVF and hyperchloremia that worsens AKI. METHODS Retrospective cohort of all DKA inpatients at a tertiary pediatric hospital from 2014 to 2019. A total of 145 children were included; reasons for exclusion were pre-existing kidney disease or incomplete medical records. AKI was determined by change in creatinine during admission, and comparison to a calculated baseline value. Linear regression multivariable analysis was used to identify factors associated with AKI. True dehydration was calculated from patients' change in weight, as previously validated. Fluid over-resuscitation was defined as total fluids given above the true dehydration. RESULTS A total of 19% of patients met KDIGO serum creatinine criteria for AKI on admission. Only 2% had AKI on hospital discharge. True dehydration and high serum urea levels were associated with high serum creatinine levels on admission (p = 0.042; p < 0.001, respectively). Fluid over-resuscitation and hyperchloremia were associated with delayed kidney recovery (p < 0.001). Severity of initial AKI was associated with cerebral edema (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS Dehydration was associated with initial AKI in children with DKA. Persistent AKI and delay to recovery was associated with hyperchloremia and over-resuscitation with IVF, potentially modifiable clinical variables for earlier AKI recovery and reduction in long-term morbidity. This highlights the need to re-address fluid protocols in pediatric DKA.

Abstract
Maintenance intravenous fluids are the most frequently ordered medications for hospitalized children. Since the American Association of Pediatrics published national guidelines, there has been an increased reflexive use of isotonic solutions, especially 0.9% saline, as a prophylaxis against hyponatremia. In this educational review, we discuss the potential deleterious effects of using 0.9% saline, including the development of hyperchloremia, metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, and a proinflammatory state. Balanced solutions with anion buffers cause relatively minimal harm when used in most children. While the literature supporting one fluid choice over the other is variable, we highlight the benefits of balanced solutions over saline and the importance of prescribing fluid therapy that is individualized for each patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Maintenance and hidden/creep fluids are a major source of fluid and sodium intake in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Recent research indicates that low versus high sodium content maintenance fluids could decrease fluid and sodium burden. We conducted a systematic review (SR) with meta-analysis to summarize the impact of maintenance fluid choice on total daily sodium in ICU patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Systematic literature search in Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and the. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY Only controlled clinical trials were included. EXCLUSION CRITERIA trials on resuscitation fluids, performed in the emergency department only and in pediatric patients. Primary objective was the reduction in mean total sodium intake with low versus high sodium content maintenance/creep fluids. RESULTS Five studies (1105 patients) were included. Heterogeneity was high.Risk of bias was moderate. Mean daily sodium reduction was 117 mmol (95%Confidence Interval [CI] -174; -59; p < 0.001) with low versus high sodium content maintenance/creep fluids. Incidence of hyperchloremia was lower (OR 0.26; 95%CI 0.1; 0.64) with low sodium. There were no differences in the incidences of hyper-/hyponatremia and fluid balances. CONCLUSION Using low sodium content maintenance/creep fluids substantially reduces daily sodium burden in adult ICU patients. Significant knowledge/research gaps exist regarding relevance and safety.

Abstract
Hyperchloremia has negative consequences, such as increased proinflammatory mediators, renal dysfunction, and mortality in patients with septic shock. However, data on the effects of hyperchloremia on COVID-19 infections are scarce. The study aimed to investigate the effects of hyperchloremia on inflammatory markers, serum creatinine, hemoglobin levels, and outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients. A retrospective review of all adult patients admitted to the ICU at King Fahd University Hospital with a moderate to severe COVID-19 infection from January 2020 to August 2021 was performed. Serum chloride levels, ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, and hemoglobin levels were collected on the first and third days of ICU admission. Demographic data, oxygen support modality, ICU length of stay (ICU LOS), renal replacement therapy (RRT), and deaths were collected. Of 420 patients, 255 were included; 97 (38%) had hyperchloremia, while 158 (62%) did not. Hyperchloremic patients had a higher percentage of increases in ferritin (54.6%), CRP (6.2%), and LDH (15.5%) between the first and third days of admission, compared to non-hyperchloremic patients (43.7%, 6.3%, and 5.7%, respectively). The decrease in hemoglobin levels was similar in both groups (p=0.103). There was a significant association between hyperchloremia and an increase in serum creatinine (p<0.0001). Sixty-six (68%) patients required endotracheal intubation in the hyperchloremic group (p=0.003). The mortality rate was significant in the hyperchloremic cohort (p=<0.0001). Hyperchloremia was significantly associated with increased risks of kidney injury, endotracheal intubation, and death. However, hyperchloremia was not associated with increased ferritin, CRP, or hemoglobin decreases in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) type II (PHA2) is a genetic disorder that leads to volume overload and hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis. PHA2 and PHA type I (PHA1) have been considered to be genetic and pediatric counterparts to type IV renal tubular acidosis (RTA). Type IV RTA is frequently found in adults with chronic kidney disease and is characterized by hyperchloremic hyperkalemic acidosis with normal anion gap (AG). However, we recently observed that PHA1 was not always identical to type IV RTA. In this study, we focused on the aid-base balance in PHA2. Through a literature search published between 2008-2020, 46 molecularly diagnosed cases with PHA2 were identified (median age of 14 years). They comprised 11 sets of familial and 16 sporadic cases and the pathology was associated with mutations in WNK 4 (n = 1), KLHL3 (n = 17), and CUL3 (n = 9). The mean potassium (K+) level was 6.2 ± 0.9 mEq/L (n = 46, range 4.0-8.6 mEq/L), whereas that of chloride (Cl-) was 110 ± 3.5 mEq/L (n = 41, 100-119 mEq/L), with 28 of 41 cases identified as hyperchloremic. More than half of the cases (18/35) presented with metabolic acidosis. Although AG data was obtained only in 16 cases, all but one cases were within normal AG range. Both Cl- and HCO3- levels showed significant correlations with K+ levels, which suggested that the degree of hyperchloremia and acidosis reflect the clinical severity, and is closely related to the fundamental pathophysiology of PHA2. In conclusion, our study confirmed that PHA2 is compatible with type IV RTA based on laboratory findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an established complication of adult traumatic brain injury (TBI) and known risk factor for mortality. Evidence demonstrates an association between hyperchloremia and AKI in critically ill adults but studies in children are scarce. Given frequent use of hypertonic saline in the management of pediatric TBI, we believe the incidence of hyperchloremia will be high and hypothesize that it will be associated with development of AKI. METHODS Single-center retrospective cohort study was completed at an urban, level 1 pediatric trauma center. Children > 40 weeks corrected gestational age and < 21 years of age with moderate or severe TBI (presenting GCS < 13) admitted between January 2016 and December 2021 were included. Primary study outcome was presence of AKI (defined by pediatric Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria) within 7 days of hospitalization and compared between patients with and without hyperchloremia (serum chloride ≥ 110 mEq/L). RESULTS Fifty-two children were included. Mean age was 5.75 (S.D. 5.4) years; 60% were male (31/52); and mean presenting GCS was 6 (S.D. 2.9). Thirty-seven patients (71%) developed hyperchloremia with a mean peak chloride of 125 (S.D. 12.0) mEq/L and mean difference between peak and presenting chloride of 16 (S.D. 12.7) mEq/L. Twenty-three patients (44%) developed AKI; of those with hyperchloremia, 62% (23/37) developed AKI, while among those without hyperchloremia, 0% (0/15) developed AKI (difference 62%, 95% CI 42-82%, p < 0.001). Attributable risk of hyperchloremia leading to AKI was 62.2 (95% CI 46.5-77.8, p = 0.0015). CONCLUSION Hyperchloremia is common in the management of pediatric TBI and is associated with development of AKI. Risk appears to be associated with both the height of serum chloride and duration of hyperchloremia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum chloride derangement is common in critically ill patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We aimed to assess the association between serum chloride levels before and during CRRT with mortality. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of critically ill patients receiving CRRT for acute kidney injury from December 2006 through November 2015 in a tertiary referral hospital in the United States. We used logistic regression to assess serum chloride before and mean serum chloride during CRRT as predictors for 90 days mortality after CRRT initiation. The normal reference range for serum chloride was 99-108 mmol/L. RESULTS Of 1282 eligible patients, 25%, 50%, and 25% had hypochloremia, normochloremia, and hyperchloremia, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for 90 days mortality in patients with hypochloremia before CRRT was 1.82 (95% CI 1.29-2.55). During CRRT, 4%, 70%, 26% of patients had mean serum chloride in the hypochloremia, normochloremia, and hyperchloremia range, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for 90 days mortality in patients with mean serum chloride during CRRT in the hypochloremia range was 2.96 (95% CI 1.43-6.12). Hyperchloremia before and during CRRT was not associated with mortality. The greater serum chloride range during CRRT was associated with increased mortality (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.13-1.47 per 5 mmol/L increase). CONCLUSION Hypochloremia before and during CRRT is associated with higher mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperchloremia has been associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill adult patients. Data is limited in pediatric patients. Our study sought to determine if an association exists between hyperchloremia and AKI in pediatric patients admitted to the intensive care unit (PICU). METHODS This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients admitted to the PICU for greater than 24 h and who received intravenous fluids. Patients were excluded if they had a diagnosis of kidney disease or required kidney replacement therapy (KRT) within 6 h of admission. Exposures were hyperchloremia (serum chloride ≥ 110 mmol/L) within the first 7 days of PICU admission. The primary outcome was the development of AKI using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Secondary outcomes included time on mechanical ventilation, new KRT, PICU length of stay, and mortality. Outcomes were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS There were 407 patients included in the study, 209 in the hyperchloremic group and 198 in the non-hyperchloremic group. Univariate analysis demonstrated 108 (51.7%) patients in the hyperchloremic group vs. 54 (27.3%) in the non-hyperchloremic group (p = < .001) with AKI. On multivariate analysis, the odds ratio of AKI with hyperchloremia was 2.24 (95% CI 1.39-3.61) (p = .001). Hyperchloremia was not associated with increased odds of mortality, need for KRT, time on mechanical ventilation, or length of stay. CONCLUSION Hyperchloremia was associated with AKI in critically ill pediatric patients. Further pediatric clinical trials are needed to determine the benefit of a chloride restrictive vs. liberal fluid strategy. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
The classical transurethral resection syndrome as described with monopolar prostate resection has become rare since the switch to bipolar resection and even more so since the introduction of HoLEP. We report a case of a 74-year-old male patient who presented with an irrigation fluid absorption syndrome during a HoLEP for benign prostate hypertrophy. Biochemically this presented as metabolic acidosis and hyperchloremia instead of hyponatremia. He was treated with diuretics and had a swift recovery.

Abstract
The various mechanisms responsible for the development of metabolic acidosis are briefly reviewed, and the metabolic acidoses are categorized both by mechanism and by the presence or absence of an increased anion gap. When a diagnosis of metabolic acidosis is established, it becomes imperative to identify the primary causative etiology as quickly as possible. This is often readily apparent from the history and physical exam (ie, diabetic ketoacidosis when the glucose is very high in a patient with diabetes mellitus; lactic acidosis in a patient with sepsis and hypotension, etc.). However, when the etiology is not obvious, it is very helpful to determine if the metabolic acidosis is of the hyperchloremic or high-anion-gap type (or a combination of both). Once this categorization has been established, a stepwise consideration of each of the potential causative etiologies will usually direct the clinician to order the appropriate diagnostic studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is characterized by hyperglycemia, ketogenesis, and increased anion gap metabolic acidosis. Such derangements are accompanied by volume depletion as well as electrolyte disturbances. Resuscitation using traditional saline in DKA patients can exacerbate electrolyte abnormalities, in particular the production of hyperchloremia. Severe hypovolemia can result in acute kidney injury (AKI). The link between hyperchloremia and AKI is controversial. This study aimed to assess the relationship between hyperchloremia and AKI in pediatric patients with DKA and its impacts on clinical outcomes. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 70 children with DKA admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit in which all patients were subjected to detailed medical history taking and full clinical examination. Daily assessment of Na, K, urea, creatinine, chloride, arterial blood gases, and albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) was done. AKI was defined as pRIFLE stage I and F. RESULTS Hyperchloremia was detected in 65.7% of patients at admission and in 52.9% after 24 h (p = 0.17). AKI was documented in 28% of patients. At admission hyperchloremia was detected in 56% of patients without AKI versus 90% of patients with AKI (p = 0.007). After 24 h, hyperchloremia was detected in 48.4% patients without versus 100% of patients with AKI. Chloride was significantly positively correlated to duration of admission, creatinine, ACR, and negatively correlated to eGFR. CONCLUSION The development of AKI in patients with DKA was accompanied by hyperchloremia, increased time to DKA resolution, and longer hospital stay. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Based on the relationship between hyperchloremia and mortality in critically ill patients, we investigated the effect of early hyperchloremia on 90-day outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acute ischemic stroke patients recruited within 5 h of symptom onset were analyzed. Hyperchloremia (defined as 110 mmol/L or greater) at either baseline, or 24, or 48 h after randomization was identified and classified as one occurrence or two or more occurrences. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the effects of hyperchloremia on: favorable outcomes (defined by a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and/or modified Rankin scale scores of 0-1) at 90-day, death or disability at 90-day, and death within 90-day after accounting for potential confounders. RESULTS Among the total of 1275 patients, one and two or more occurrence of hyperchloremia within 48 h were seen in 191 patients and 108 patients, respectively. Compared with patients without hyperchloremia, patients with two or more occurrences of hyperchloremia at significantly higher odds of lack of favorable outcomes (odds ratio 3.0, 95% confidence interval 1.8-5.1) and death or disability (odds ratio 2.6, 95% confidence interval 1.6-4.1) at 90-day after adjustment for age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score strata (6-9, 10-19, ≥ 20), study intervention, initial SBP, and intra-arterial treatment. CONCLUSIONS The independent association between sustained hyperchloremia and lack of favorable outcomes at 90-day suggest that avoidance of hyperchloremia may reduce the rate of lack of favorable outcomes and death or disability in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Background Hyperchloremia is associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between increased chloride levels and mortality outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods We performed a retrospective study of all patients diagnosed with ICH and included in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-Ⅲ) from 2001 to 2012. Inclusion criteria were the first diagnosis of ICH, ICU length of stay (LOS) over 72 h, and not receiving hypertonic saline treatment. Serum chloride perturbation within 72 h of admission was evaluated as a predictor of outcomes. The increase in chloride from baseline was dichotomized based on an increase in chloride in 72 h (≤5 mmol/L or >5 mmol/L). The primary outcome was 90-day mortality. Results A total of 376 patients (54.5% male, median age 70 years, interquartile range:58-79 years) were included. The overall 90-day mortality was 32.2% (n=121), in-hospital mortality was 25.8% (n=97), and Day 2 acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 29.0% (n=109) of patients. The prevalence of hyperchloremia on admission, during the first 72 h, and an increase in chloride (>5 mmol/L) were 8.8%, 39.4%, and 42.8%, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, the hazard ratio of increase in chloride (>5 mmol/L) was 1.66 (95% confidence interval:1.05-2.64, P=0.031). An increase in chloride (>5 mmol/L) was associated with a higher odds ratio for 90-day mortality in both the AKI and non-AKI groups. Conclusions An increase in chloride from baseline is common in adult patients with ICH admitted to ICU. The increase is significantly associated with elevated mortality. These results support the significance of diligently monitoring chloride levels in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A few previous clinical studies have shown that chloride (Cl) contributes to the progression and development of hypertension or proteinuria. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether hyperchloremia is associated with hypertension or proteinuria in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to define the relationships between the reduction in serum Cl concentration associated with CKD treatment and improvements in hypertension and/or proteinuria. METHODS We performed a retrospective observational study of new or referred patients with CKD who had hyperchloremia, moderate proteinuria, renal dysfunction, and hypertension. Patients taking medication for metabolic acidosis or with a history of dialysis were excluded. The participants' systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), serum sodium (Na) and Cl concentrations, and urinary protein (UP) concentration were measured at baseline and after 1 month of CKD treatment. RESULTS Fifty-one patients with CKD were included in the study. Their serum Cl concentration independently correlated with sBP and UP at baseline (P = 0.022 and P = 0.033, respectively). After 1 month's CKD treatment, their serum Na and Cl concentrations, sBP, and UP were significantly lower. The change in sBP during the month (ΔsBP) correlated with the change in serum Cl (ΔCl) (P = 0.012) but not with the change in serum Na. Multivariate analysis showed that ΔsBP was independently associated with ΔCl (P = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Hyperchloremia is an independent predictor of hypertension and proteinuria for patients with CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On the basis of increased mortality associated with hyperchloremia among critically ill patients, we investigated the effect of occurrence of early hyperchloremia on death or disability at 90 days in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We analyzed the data from Antihypertensive Treatment of Cerebral Hemorrhage 2 trial, which recruited patients with spontaneous ICH within 4.5 h of symptom onset. Patients with increased serum chloride levels (110 mmol/L or greater) at either baseline or 24, 48, or 72 h after randomization were identified. We further graded hyperchloremia into one occurrence or two or more occurrences within the first 72 h. Two logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the effects of hyperchloremia on (1) death within 90 days and (2) death or disability at 90 days after adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS Among the total of 1,000 patients analyzed, hyperchloremia within 72 h was seen in 114 patients with one occurrence and in 154 patients with two or more occurrences. Patients with one occurrence of hyperchloremia (odds ratio [OR] 2.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-5.5) and those with two or more occurrences (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.3-5.0) had significantly higher odds of death within 90 days after adjustment for age, race and ethnicity, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score strata, hematoma volume, presence or absence of intraventricular hemorrhage, cigarette smoking, previous stroke, and maximum hourly dose of nicardipine. Patients with two or more occurrences of hyperchloremia (OR 3.4, 95% CI 2.1-5.6) had significantly higher odds of death or disability at 90 days compared with patients without hyperchloremia after adjustment for the abovementioned potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS The independent association between hyperchloremia and death or disability at 90 days suggests that avoidance of hyperchloremia may reduce the observed death or disability in patients with ICH.

Abstract
Background Recent technological advancements have enabled the use of electrolyte solutions such as saline or buffered electrolyte solution during transurethral resection or laser enucleation of the prostate. However, saline absorption may cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Case presentation A male in his late seventies underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate under a combination of subarachnoid block and general anesthesia. Intraoperatively, abdominal distension prompted the attending anesthesiologist to consider the possibility of SGA malposition, and the trachea was intubated. Oropharyngeal and neck edema was observed, and laboratory examination revealed considerable acidosis with hyperchloremia. Further evaluation confirmed the absorption of a large amount of saline into the circulation via the perforated bladder. Application of the simplified Stewart approach clearly suggested that hyperchloremia was the principal cause of metabolic acidosis. The dilution of albumin attenuated acidosis. Conclusions Absorption of normal saline during laser enucleation of prostate caused hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and airway edema.

Abstract
Background Serum chloride (Cl−) is one of the most essential extracellular anions. Based on emerging evidence obtained from patients with kidney or heart disease, hypochloremia has been recognized as an independent predictor of mortality. Nevertheless, excessive Cl− can also cause death in severely ill patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hyperchloremia and high mortality rate in patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). Methods We enrolled 2131 patients from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III database version 1.4 (MIMIC-III v1.4) from 2001 to 2012. Selected SICU patients were more than 18 years old and survived more than 72 h. A serum Cl− level ≥ 108 mEq/L was defined as hyperchloremia. Clinical and laboratory variables were compared between hyperchloremia (n = 664) at 72 h post-ICU admission and no hyperchloremia (n = 1467). The Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing (Lowess) approach was utilized to investigate the correlation between serum Cl- and the thirty-day mortality rate. The Cox proportional-hazards model was employed to investigate whether serum chlorine at 72 h post-ICU admission was independently related to in-hospital, thirty-day and ninety-day mortality from all causes. Kaplan-Meier curve of thirty-day and ninety-day mortality and serum Cl− at 72 h post-ICU admission was further constructed. Furthermore, we performed subgroup analyses to investigate the relationship between serum Cl− at 72 h post-ICU admission and the thirty-day mortality from all causes. Results A J-shaped correlation was observed, indicating that hyperchloremia was linked to an elevated risk of thirty-day mortality from all causes. In the multivariate analyses, it was established that hyperchloremia remained a valuable predictor of in-hospital, thirty-day and ninety-day mortality from all causes; with adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) for hyperchloremia of 1.35 (1.02 ~ 1.77), 1.67 (1.28 ~ 2.19), and 1.39 (1.12 ~ 1.73), respectively. In subgroup analysis, we observed hyperchloremia had a significant interaction with AKI (P for interaction: 0.017), but there were no interactions with coronary heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (P for interaction: 0.418, 0.157, 0.103, respectively). Conclusion Hyperchloremia at 72 h post-ICU admission and increasing serum Cl− were associated with elevated mortality risk from all causes in severely ill SICU patients.

Abstract
Background Hyperchloremia is associated with the risks of several morbidities and mortality. However, its relationship with acute kidney injury (AKI) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains unresolved. Methods A total of 2977 patients undergoing CABG between 2003 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed from two tertiary hospitals. Patients were categorized by serum chloride levels into normochloremia (95–105 mmol/L), mild hyperchloremia (106–110 mmol/L), and severe hyperchloremia (> 110 mmol/L). The odds ratios (ORs) for AKI and hazard ratios (HRs) for ESRD were calculated after adjustment for multiple covariates. The death-adjusted risk of ESRD was additionally evaluated. Results Postoperative AKI occurred in 798 patients (26.5%). The hyperchloremia group had a higher risk of AKI than the normochloremia group, wherein the risk was incremental depending on the severity of hyperchloremia, as follows: ORs were 1.26 (1.06–1.51) and 1.95 (1.52–2.51) in the mild and severe hyperchloremia groups, respectively. During a median period of 7 years (maximum 15 years), 70 patients (2.3%) had ESRD. The severe hyperchloremia group was at an elevated risk of ESRD compared with the normochloremia group, with an HR of 2.43 (1.28–4.63). Even after adjusting for the competing risk of death, hyperchloremia was associated with the risk of ESRD. Conclusions Preoperative hyperchloremia is associated with poor renal outcomes such as AKI and ESRD after CABG. Accordingly, serum chloride should be monitored in patients undergoing CABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the infusion of sodium lactate 500ml upon different biochemical variables and intracranial pressure in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. DESIGN A prospective experimental single cohort study was carried out. SCOPE Polyvalent intensive care unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS Critical patients with shock and intracranial hypertension. PROCEDURE A 500ml sodium lactate bolus was infused in 15min. Plasma levels of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, lactate, bicarbonate, PaCO2, pH, phosphate and albumin were recorded at 3 timepoints: T0 pre-infusion; T1 at 30min, and T2 at 60min post-infusion. Mean arterial pressure and intracranial pressure were measured at T0 and T2. RESULTS Forty-one patients received sodium lactate: 19 as an osmotically active agent and 22 as a volume expander. Metabolic alkalosis was observed: T0 vs. T1 (p=0.007); T1 vs. T2 (p=0.003). Sodium increased at the 3 timepoints (T0 vs. T1, p<0.0001; T1 vs. T2, p=0.0001). In addition, sodium lactate decreased intracranial pressure (T0: 24.83±5.4 vs. T2: 15.06±5.8; p<0.001). Likewise, plasma lactate showed a biphasic effect, with a rapid decrease at T2 (p<0.0001), including in those with previous hyperlactatemia (p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The infusion of sodium lactate is associated to metabolic alkalosis, hypernatremia, reduced chloremia, and a biphasic change in plasma lactate levels. Moreover, a decrease in intracranial pressure was observed in patients with acute brain injury.

Abstract
Background The superiority of either the traditional or Stewart based approach to acid-base balance has focused primarily on analyzing metabolic acidemia, with little attention given to patients with neutral pH. In this study, we evaluate metabolic disturbances in patients in the immediate postoperative period focusing on patients with neutral pH, while comparing the Stewart and traditional approach. Methods We conducted a single center retrospective observational cohort study. Over a 17-month period, data on arterial blood gas analysis, electrolytes, and albumin on the morning after surgery were retrieved from patients admitted to the postsurgical high dependency unit (HDU). Albumin-corrected anion gap (AG), apparent (SIDa) and effective strong ion difference (SIDe), and strong ion gap (SIG) were calculated. Results Out of 1207 HDU admissions, 400 cases had a complete set of laboratory-data including albumin of which 281 presented with neutral pH (7.35 ≤ pH ≤ 7.45), 64 with acidemia (pH < 7.35) and 55 with alkalemia (pH > 7.45). In pH neutral patients, the following acidifying disturbances were found: SIDa was lowered in 101 (36%), and SIG was raised in 60 (21%). Base excess (BE) was decreased in 16 (6%) and corrected AG raised in 107 (38%). The alkalizing effect of hypoalbuminemia was present in 137 (49%). Out of 134 cases with normal BE and corrected AG, SIDa was lowered in 58 (43%). Out of 136 cases with normal SIDa and SIG, none had lowered BE and 28 increased AG (21%). Length of stay was significantly longer in patients with hypoalbuminemia, lowered SIDa, and increased corrected AG, but not decreased BE (hypoalbuminemia: 16 days vs. 10 days, P < 0.001; low SIDa: 15 days vs. 12 days, P = 0.015; increased AG: 16 days vs. 11 days, P < 0.001; low BE: 14 days vs. 13 days, P = 0.736). Conclusions Metabolic disturbances, characterized mainly by the presence of lowered SIDa, increased AG, and hypoalbuminemia, are frequent in our population with apparent neutral acid-base balance based on pH and base excess. These changes on the morning after surgery are associated with increased length of stay.

Abstract
Background This systematic review discusses a clinical physiology aspect of chloride in fluid therapy. Crystalloid solutions are one of the most widely used remedies. While generally used in medicine for almost 190 years, studies focused largely on their safety have only been published since the new millennium. The most widely used solution, normal saline, is most often referred to in this context. Its excessive administration results in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with other consequences, including higher mortality rates. Methods Original papers and review articles eligible for developing the present paper were identified by searching online in the electronic MEDLINE database. The keywords searched for included hyperchloremia, hypochloremia, and compound words containing the word “chloride,” infusion therapy, metabolic acidosis, renal failure, and review. Results A total of 21,758 papers published before 31 May 2020 were identified; of this number, 630 duplicates were removed from the list. Upon excluding articles based on their title or abstract, 1850 papers were screened, of which 63 full-text articles were assessed. Conclusions According to the latest medical concepts, dyschloremia (both hyperchloremia and hypochloremia) represents a factor indisputably having a negative effect on selected variables of clinical outcome. As infusion therapy can significantly impact chloride homeostasis of the body, the choice of infusion solutions should always take into account the potentially adverse impact of chloride content on chloremia and organ function.

Abstract
In response to comments raised, we acknowledge the shortcomings of our study. It is a small study. However, it is a pilot study, which is not meant to create generalizable data, rather to explore new potential directions. To this end, our conclusions were clearly supported by the results. We demonstrated that administration of 16.4% NaCl/Na-acetate solution was feasible, safe, and was associated with lower rates of AKI. We share the call that large RCTs are required to follow this pilot study and hope that our data will stimulate the ongoing discussion regarding the role of chloride in AKI mechanism.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of resuscitation with normal saline and sodium potassium magnesium calcium and glucose injection on renal structure and function in septic rats. Rat model of sepsis was established by ligation and perforation of cecum. Male SD rats were divided into four groups: sham operation group, sepsis group, saline resuscitation group, sodium potassium magnesium calcium and glucose injection resuscitation group. Blood gas analysis was performed at the end of resuscitation. The rats were sacrificed 72 hours after resuscitation. Blood samples were taken to measure the plasma levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα). Caspase-3 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in kidney sections. The degree of renal injury was evaluated by regular HE staining and electron microscope. Compared with normal saline resuscitation, sodium potassium calcium magnesium glucose injection resuscitation could decrease the levels of BUN, serum creatinine, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα (P<0.05) , reduce the expression of caspase-3 (P<0.05) , and improve the renal injury score (P<0.05) . Sodium potassium calcium magnesium glucose injection resuscitation can significantly improve the renal function of sepsis rats with less pathological damage of the kidney.

Abstract
Background Fluid therapy is a cornerstone of pediatric intensive care medicine. We aimed at quantifying the load of water, sodium and chloride due to different fluid indications in our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). We were particularly interested in the role of fluid creep, i.e. fluid administered mainly as the vehicle for drugs, and the association between sodium load and water balance. Methods Critically ill children aged ≤3 years and invasively ventilated for ≥48 h between 2016 and 2019 in a single tertiary center PICU were retrospectively enrolled. Need for renal replacement therapy, plasmapheresis or parenteral nutrition constituted exclusion criteria. Quantity, quality and indication of fluids administered intravenously or enterally, urinary output and fluid balance were recorded for the first 48 h following intubation. Concentrations of sodium and chloride provided by the manufacturers were used to compute the electrolyte load. Results Forty-three patients (median 7 months (IQR 3–15)) were enrolled. Patients received 1004 ± 284 ml of water daily (153 ± 36 ml/kg/day), mainly due to enteral (39%), creep (34%) and maintenance (24%) fluids. Patients received 14.4 ± 4.8 mEq/kg/day of sodium and 13.6 ± 4.7 mEq/kg/day of chloride, respectively. The majority of sodium and chloride derived from fluid creep (56 and 58%). Daily fluid balance was 417 ± 221 ml (64 ± 30 ml/kg/day) and was associated with total sodium intake (r2 = 0.49, p < 0.001). Conclusions Critically ill children are exposed, especially in the acute phase, to extremely high loads of water, sodium and chloride, possibly contributing to edema development. Fluid creep is quantitatively the most relevant fluid in the PICU and future research efforts should address this topic in order to reduce the inadvertent water and electrolyte burden and improve the quality of care of critically ill children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum chloride derangements are associated with poor clinical outcomes, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality. We sought to determine the association between persistent hyperchloremia and renal recovery in critically ill children with AKI. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients with day 2 AKI admitted to a large academic pediatric intensive care unit from January 2014 to December 2015. After applying exclusion criteria, 348 patients were categorized as (1) hyperchloremia on both day 2 and day 7 (PersistentCl), (2) hyperchloremia on day 2 with normochloremia on day 7 (RecoveredCl), (3) normochloremia on day 2 with hyperchloremia on day 7 (DelayedCl), and (4) no hyperchloremia on day 2 nor day 7 (NormalCl). Hyperchloremia was defined as ≥ 110 mEq/L. The primary outcome was renal recovery on day 7, defined as the absence of AKI criteria. Secondary outcomes included discharge renal recovery, mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, and hospital length of stay. RESULTS Day 7 renal recovery rates for PersistentCl, RecoveredCl, DelayedCl, and NormalCl were 37%, 66%, 71%, and 52% respectively. PersistentCl had lower odds of day 7 renal recovery (aOR = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.60; p = 0.0009), lower odds of discharge renal recovery (aOR = 0.22; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.48; p = 0.0001), and higher odds of mortality (aOR = 3.50; 95% CI, 1.11 to 11.10; p = 0.03) when compared with RecoveredCl after adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSIONS Persistent hyperchloremia is independently associated with impaired renal recovery as well as higher mortality. Prospective studies are indicated to determine if serum chloride represents a modifiable risk factor for poor outcomes. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent reports have demonstrated that among patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) treated with hypertonic NaCl, resultant hyperchloremia has been associated with the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). We report a trial comparing the effect of two hypertonic solutions with different chloride contents on the resultant serum chloride concentrations in SAH patients, with a primary outcome aimed at limiting chloride elevation. METHODS A low ChloridE hyperTonic solution for brain Edema (ACETatE) trial is a single-center, double-blinded, double-dummy, randomized pilot trial comparing bolus infusions of 23.4% NaCl and 16.4% NaCl/Na-acetate for the treatment of cerebral edema in patients with SAH. Randomization occurred when patients developed hyperchloremia (serum Cl- ≥ 109 mmol/L) and required hyperosmolar treatment. RESULTS We enrolled 59 patients, of which 32 developed hyperchloremia and required hyperosmolar treatment. 15 patients were randomized to the 23.4% NaCl group, and 17 patients were randomized to the 16.4% NaCl/Na-acetate group. Although serum chloride levels increased similarly in both groups, the NaCl/Acetate group showed a significantly lower Cl- load at the end of the study period (978mEq vs. 2,464mEq, p < 0.01). Secondary outcome analysis revealed a reduced rate of AKI in the Na-acetate group (53.3% in the NaCl group vs. 11.8% in the Na-acetate group, p = 0.01). Both solutions had similar effects on ICP reduction, but NaCl/Acetate treatment had a more prominent effect on immediate post-infusion Na+ concentrations (increase of 2.2 ± 2.8 vs. 1.4 ± 2.6, (p < 0.01)). Proximal tubule renal biomarkers differed in concentration between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Our pilot trial showed the feasibility and safety of replacing 23.4% NaCl infusions with 16.4% NaCl/Na-acetate infusions to treat cerebral edema in patients with SAH. The degree of hyperchloremia was similar in the two groups. 16.4% NaCl/Na-acetate infusions led to lower Cl- load and AKI rates than 23.4% NaCl infusions. Further multi-center studies are needed to corroborate these results. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov # NCT03204955, registered on 6/28/2017.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) often becomes the primary focus and in turn masks a similar serious condition like hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. CASE REPORT A 20 years old female with type 1 diabetes mellitus presented to the emergency department (ED) with signs and symptoms corresponding to DKA. Initial pH, HCO3, Na and Cl concentrations were 6.83, 3.6 mmol/l, 143 mmol/l and 122 mmol/l respectively; anion gap 17.4 mmol/l and absent urinary ketones. DKA regime showed no improvement in the measured parameters nor the patient. The diagnosis changed to hyperchloremic high-anion gap acidosis and treatment modifications were made by adding sodium bicarbonate infusion. There was significant improvement in the clinical status of the patient and the calculated parameters. DISCUSSION Hyperchloremic acidosis is associated with a non-anion gap, decrease in plasma bicarbonate and increase in plasma chloride. Rarely, as with this case, it may present with a high-anion gap. The use of bicarbonate therapy has shown improvement in cases of non-anion gap acidosis however there is very little data to support its role in high-anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
The aim of this observational retrospective cohort study was to analyze the association between hyperchloremia and serum chloride variation with in-hospital acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in a general, no-ICU hospitalized population. We performed a retrospective study on inpatient population admitted to Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS between January 2010 and December 2014 with inclusion of adult patients with at least two values available for chloride, sodium and creatinine. Hyperchloremia was defined as serum chloride concentration ≥ 108 mmol/L (moderate hyperchloremia: chloremia between 108-110 mmol/L, severe hyperchloremia: chloremia > 110 mmol/L). According to the time of onset of the electrolyte disturbance, hyperchloremia was then classified as hospital acquired (HA) and community acquired (CA). In patients with HA-hyperchloremia, chloride variation (ΔCl) was calculated. In-hospital AKI was defined according to creatinine kinetics criteria occurring 48 h after hospital admission. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the exposures of interest and in-hospital AKI and mortality. A total of 24,912 hospital admissions met the inclusion criteria. Regression analyses showed that only severe HA-hyperchloremia was associated with increased risk of in-hospital AKI [odds ratio (OR) 2.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.58, 4.30, p value < 0.001] and death (OR 3.89, 95% CI 2.11, 7.18, p value < 0.001). With increasing ΔCl, the OR of in-hospital AKI increased progressively (p value for trend = 0.005). In conclusion, severe hyperchloremia is an independent predictor for in-hospital AKI and mortality; HA-hyperchloremia is more detrimental for patient outcome; higher ΔCl from hospital admission is associated with increased risk of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypernatremia has been associated with mortality in neurocritically ill patients, with and without traumatic brain injury (TBI). These studies, however, lack concomitant adjustment for hyperchloremia as a physiologically co-occurring finding despite the associations with hyperchloremia and worse outcomes after trauma, sepsis, and intracerebral hemorrhage. The objective of our study was to examine the association of concomitant hypernatremia and hyperchloremia with in-hospital mortality in moderate-severe TBI (msTBI) patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data from the OPTIMISM-study and included all msTBI patients consecutively enrolled between 11/2009 and 1/2017. Time-weighted average (TWA) sodium and chloride values were calculated for all patients to examine the unadjusted mortality rates associated with the burden of hypernatremia and hyperchloremia over the entire duration of the intensive care unit stay. Multivariable logistic regression modeling predicting in-hospital mortality adjusted for validated confounders of msTBI mortality was applied to evaluate the concomitant effects of hypernatremia and hyperchloremia. Internal bootstrap validation was performed. RESULTS Of the 458 patients included for analysis, 202 (44%) died during the index hospitalization. Fifty-five patients (12%) were excluded due to missing data. Unadjusted mortality rates were nearly linearly increasing for both TWA sodium and TWA chloride, and were highest for patients with a TWA sodium > 160 mmol/L (100% mortality) and TWA chloride > 125 mmol/L (94% mortality). When evaluated separately in the multivariable analysis, TWA sodium (per 10 mmol/L change: adjusted OR 4.0 [95% CI 2.1-7.5]) and TWA chloride (per 10 mmol/L change: adjusted OR 3.9 [95% CI 2.2-7.1]) independently predicted in-hospital mortality. When evaluated in combination, TWA chloride remained independently associated with in-hospital mortality (per 10 mmol/L change: adjusted OR 2.9 [95% CI 1.1-7.8]), while this association was no longer observed with TWA sodium values (per 10 mmol/L change: adjusted OR 1.5 [95% CI 0.51-4.4]). CONCLUSIONS When concomitantly adjusting for the burden of hyperchloremia and hypernatremia, only hyperchloremia was independently associated with in-hospital mortality in our msTBI cohort. Pending validation, our findings may provide the rationale for future studies with targeted interventions to reduce hyperchloremia and improve outcomes in msTBI patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the infusion of sodium lactate 500ml upon different biochemical variables and intracranial pressure in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. DESIGN A prospective experimental single cohort study was carried out. SCOPE Polyvalent intensive care unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS Critical patients with shock and intracranial hypertension. PROCEDURE A 500ml sodium lactate bolus was infused in 15min. Plasma levels of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, lactate, bicarbonate, PaCO2, pH, phosphate and albumin were recorded at 3timepoints: T0 pre-infusion; T1 at 30minutes, and T2 at 60minutes post-infusion. Mean arterial pressure and intracranial pressure were measured at T0 and T2. RESULTS Forty-one patients received sodium lactate: 19 as an osmotically active agent and 22 as a volume expander. Metabolic alkalosis was observed: T0 vs. T1 (P=0.007); T1 vs. T2 (P=0.003). Sodium increased at the 3time points (T0 vs. T1, P<0.0001; T1 vs. T2, P=0.0001). In addition, sodium lactate decreased intracranial pressure (T0: 24.83±5.4 vs. T2: 15.06±5.8; P<0.001). Likewise, plasma lactate showed a biphasic effect, with a rapid decrease at T2 (P<0.0001), including in those with previous hyperlactatemia (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The infusion of sodium lactate is associated to metabolic alkalosis, hypernatremia, reduced chloremia, and a biphasic change in plasma lactate levels. Moreover, a decrease in intracranial pressure was observed in patients with acute brain injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the effects of the sodium content of maintenance fluid therapy on cumulative fluid balance and electrolyte disorders. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial of adults undergoing major thoracic surgery, randomly assigned (1:1) to receive maintenance fluids containing 154 mmol/L (Na154) or 54 mmol/L (Na54) of sodium from the start of surgery until their discharge from the ICU, the occurrence of a serious adverse event or the third postoperative day at the latest. Investigators, caregivers and patients were blinded to the treatment. Primary outcome was cumulative fluid balance. Electrolyte disturbances were assessed as secondary endpoints, different adverse events and physiological markers as safety and exploratory endpoints. FINDINGS We randomly assigned 70 patients; primary outcome data were available for 33 and 34 patients in the Na54 and Na154 treatment arms, respectively. Estimated cumulative fluid balance at 72 h was 1369 mL (95% CI 601-2137) more positive in the Na154 arm (p < 0.001), despite comparable non-study fluid sources. Hyponatremia < 135 mmol/L was encountered in four patients (11.8%) under Na54 compared to none under Na154 (p = 0.04), but there was no significantly more hyponatremia < 130 mmol/L (1 versus 0; p = 0.31). There was more hyperchloremia > 109 mmol/L under Na154 (24/35 patients, 68.6%) than under Na54 (4/34 patients, 11.8%) (p < 0.001). The treating clinicians discontinued the study due to clinical or radiographic fluid overload in six patients receiving Na154 compared to one patient under Na54 (excess risk 14.2%; 95% CI - 0.2-30.4%, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In adult surgical patients, sodium-rich maintenance solutions were associated with a more positive cumulative fluid balance and hyperchloremia; hypotonic fluids were associated with mild and asymptomatic hyponatremia.

Abstract
Background Recent data suggest that hyperchloremia induced by fluid resuscitation is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality, particularly in sepsis. Experimental studies showed that hyperchloremia could affect organ functions. In patients with septic shock, we examined the relationship between serum chloride concentration and both renal function and survival. Methods Post hoc analysis of the “HYPER2S” trial database (NCT01722422) including 434 patients with septic shock randomly assigned for resuscitation with 0.9% or 3% saline. Metabolic parameters were recorded up to 72 h. Metabolic effects of hyperchloremia (> 110 mmol/L) were studied stratified for hyperlactatemia (> 2 mmol/L). Cox models were constructed to assess the association between chloride parameters, day-28 mortality and AKI. Results 413 patients were analysed. The presence of hyperlactatemia was significantly more frequent than hyperchloremia (62% versus 71% of patients, respectively, p = 0.006). Metabolic acidosis was significantly more frequent in patients with hyperchloremia, no matter the presence of hyperlactatemia, p < 0.001. Adjusted risk of AKI and mortality were not significantly associated with serum chloride, hyperchloremia, maximal chloremia and delta chloremia (maximal-H0 [Cl]). Conclusions Despite more frequent metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia was not associated with an increased risk for AKI or mortality.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the associations of fluctuations in serum chloride (Cl−) levels with 30-day mortality after intensive care unit (ICU) admission among critically ill patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of adult patients (≥18 years old) admitted to the ICU between January 2012 and December 2017. Positive and negative fluctuations in Cl− were defined as the differences between the Cl− upon ICU admission (baseline Cl−) and the maximum and minimum Cl− levels, respectively, measured within 72 h after ICU admission. Results The final analysis included 18,825 adult patients. In multivariable Cox regression analyses, the risk of 30-day mortality increased by 8% per 1-mmol L− 1 positive fluctuation in Cl− within 72 h (hazard ratio = 1.08, 95% confidence interval: 1.04–1.11, P < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, a positive fluctuation in Cl− was associated with increased 30-day mortality among patients with a severe positive cumulative fluid balance (FB, > 10%), normochloremia (97–110 mmol L− 1) or hyperchloremia (> 110 mmol L− 1) upon ICU admission. Furthermore, a negative fluctuation in the Cl− level during the first 72 h of an ICU stay was associated with a negative cumulative FB (< 0%) or hypochloremia (< 97 mmol L− 1) upon ICU admission. Conclusions A fluctuation in the Cl− level during the first 72 h of an ICU stay was found to associate independently with increased 30-day mortality among critically ill adult patients. However, the nature of this association differed according to the cumulative FB status or dyschloremia status upon ICU admission.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is widely available as an over-the-counter cough suppressant. A semi-synthetic opioid displaying N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonism, it is commonly abused for recreational purposes. Spuriously elevated serum chloride concentrations are a well-described phenomenon in the setting of dextromethorphan hydrobromide toxicity, but evidence to suggest the development of tolerance is limited to case reports. CASE A 32-year-old male known to chronically ingest dextromethorphan hydrobromide for recreational purposes presented to regional hospitals on 179 occasions over 110 months and was treated for dextromethorphan toxicity on 163/174 (93.7%) of these visits. He reported a subjective need to increase his dosing over time to achieve the same degree of intoxication. Measured serum chloride over this period (n = 217) ranged from 98 to 138 mEq/L (median 115 mEq/L, IQR 110-123 mEq/L). Measured concentrations over the 110-month period progressively rose, with a fitted plot of 111.15 + 0.00232x describing the rise in measured chloride. Though not formally assessed, anion gaps tended to become progressively more negative over the observed period. DISCUSSION We report a patient with persistent dextromethorphan hydrobromide abuse at escalating doses whose mean serum chloride concentration increased, on average, by 0.00232 mEq/L every day over a 110-month period. This case demonstrates progressive spurious hyperchloremia secondary to bromide interference in hospital-based chloride assays, supporting the patient's reported need to dose escalate to the same desired effect. Although this artefactual laboratory finding is a well-documented result of bromide ingestion, it may be useful in identifying patterns of dextromethorphan hydrobromide use that suggest tolerance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate whether early (first 48 h) hyperchloremia and/or the change of serum chloride concentration are associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP and SAP). METHODS We retrospectively collected the data of patients with a primary diagnosis of MSAP or SAP from a tertiary center between January 2014 and June 2017. Consecutive chloride levels within the first 48 h after admission were retrieved for further calculation. Logistic regression analysis and receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the relationship between hyperchloremia and AKI. RESULTS 145 patients were enrolled for analysis, of whom 33.5% (47/145) developed hyperchloremia during the observation period. The incidence of AKI was significantly higher in the hyperchloremia group (40.4% vs 7.1%; p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, the increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-]) was independently associated with AKI [OR = 1.32 (1.00-1.74)], as was chloride exposure [OR = 1.01 (1.00-1.02)], and these associations were found to be stronger in patients identified as predicted SAP (PSAP). Moreover, even in patients without hyperchloremia, increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-]) was still associated with AKI [OR = 1.65 (1.18-2.32)]. Area under the curve of the ROC curve (AUCROC) analysis found that Δ[Cl-] is a good predictor of AKI with an optimal cutoff point at 3.5 mmol/L, showing an AUCROC of 0.81. CONCLUSION Hyperchloremia is common in patients with AP and Δ[Cl-] and chloride exposure during the first 48 h were independent risk factors for AKI in MSAP and SAP patients.

Abstract
Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening condition that results from a ruptured cerebral vessel. Cerebral edema and vasospasm are common complications and frequently require treatment with hypertonic solutions, in particular hypertonic sodium chloride (NaCl). We have previously shown that hyperchloremia in patients with aSAH given hypertonic NaCl is associated with the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), which leads to higher morbidity and mortality. Our current trial aims to study the effect of two hypertonic solutions with different chloride content on serum chloride concentrations in patients with aSAH who are at risk for AKI. Methods A low ChloridE hyperTonic solution for brain Edema (ACETatE) is a single center, double-blinded, double-dummy pilot trial comparing bolus doses of 23.4% NaCl and 16.4% NaCl/Na-Acetate for the treatment of cerebral edema in patients with aSAH. All patients will be enrolled within 36 h following admission. Randomization will occur once patients who receive hypertonic treatment for cerebral edema develop hyperchloremia (serum Cl− concentration ≥ 109 mmol/L). Subsequent treatment will consist of either NaCl 23.4% or NaCl/Na-Acetate 16.4%. The primary outcome of this study will be the change in serum Cl− concentrations during treatment. Secondary outcomes will include incidence of AKI, mortality, changes in intracranial pressure, and extent of hypernatremia. Discussion In patients with aSAH, hyperchloremia is a known risk factor for subsequent development of AKI. The primary goal of this pilot study is to determine the effect of two hypertonic solutions with different Cl− content on serum Cl− concentrations in patients with aSAH who have already developed hyperchloremia. Data will be collected prospectively to determine the extent to which the choice of hypertonic saline solution affects subsequent serum Cl− concentrations and the occurrence of AKI. This approach will allow us to obtain preliminary data to design a large randomized trial assessing the effects of chloride-sparing hypertonic solutions on development of AKI in patients with SAH. This pilot study is the first to prospectively evaluate the relationship between hypertonic solution chloride content and its effect on serum electrolytes and renal function in aSAH patients at risk of AKI due to hyperchloremia.

Abstract
Background Whether perioperative hyperchloremia can induce postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is controversial. We investigated the association between perioperative hyperchloremia and postoperative AKI in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery. Methods We performed a retrospective observational study of patients admitted to the surgical ICU at a single tertiary care hospital between January 2011 and June 2016. Our primary objective was to determine whether hyperchloremia or an increase in serum chloride levels was associated with postoperative AKI. Perioperative hyperchloremia was defined as serum chloride levels ≥ 110 mmol·L− 1 during postoperative days (PODs) 0–3. The increase in serum chloride levels was defined as the difference between preoperative and maximum postoperative serum chloride levels during the first 3 days after surgery. Results Of the 7991 patients included in the final analysis, 1876 (23.5%) developed hyperchloremia during PODs 0–3, and 1187 (14.9%) developed postoperative AKI. Exposure to hyperchloremia during the first 3 days after surgery was not associated with postoperative AKI (odds ratio, 1.09; 95% confidence interval, 0.80–1.49; P = 0.571). However, among patients with preoperative chronic kidney disease stage ≥ 3 (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL·min− 1·1.73·m− 2), the incidence of postoperative AKI was higher in patients with an increase > 6 mmol·L− 1 in serum chloride levels than in patients with an increase ≤ 1 mmol·L− 1 (odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.09–1.84; P = 0.009). In addition, the incidence of postoperative AKI stage ≥ 2 was not associated with exposure to hyperchloremia or with the increase in serum chloride levels during PODs 0–3, regardless of preoperative kidney function. Conclusions Exposure to perioperative hyperchloremia is not associated with postoperative AKI in surgical ICU patients. However, in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (stage ≥ 3), a substantial perioperative increase in serum chloride levels may reflect a higher risk of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal fluid management in critically ill children is currently under investigation with several studies suggesting that hyperchloremia, chloride load, and the use of chloride-rich fluids contribute to worse outcomes. METHODS This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit patients from 2008 to 2016 requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Patients were excluded if they had end-stage renal disease, a disorder of chloride transport, or concurrent provision of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. RESULTS Patients (n = 66) were dichotomized into two groups (peak chloride (Cl) ≥ 110 mmol/L vs. peak Cl < 110 mmol/L prior to CRRT initiation). Hyperchloremia was present in 39 (59%) children. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Fluid overload at CRRT initiation was more common in patients with hyperchloremia (11.5% IQR 3.8-22.4) compared to those without (5.5% IQR 0.9-13.9) (p = 0.04). Mortality was significantly higher in patients with hyperchloremia (n = 26, 67%) compared to those without (n = 8, 29%) (p = 0.006). Patients with hyperchloremia had 10.9 times greater odds of death compared to those without hyperchloremia, after adjusting for percent fluid overload, PRISM III score, time to initiation of CRRT, height, and weight (95% CI 2.4 to 49.5, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Hyperchloremia is common among critically ill children prior to CRRT initiation. In this population, hyperchloremia is independently associated with mortality. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of hyperchloremia on all critically ill children and the impact of chloride load on outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Research on intravenous fluid therapy and its side effects, volume, sodium, and chloride overload, has focused almost exclusively on the resuscitation setting. We aimed to quantify all fluid sources in the ICU and assess fluid creep, the hidden and unintentional volume administered as a vehicle for medication or electrolytes. METHODS We precisely recorded the volume, sodium, and chloride burdens imposed by every fluid source administered to 14,654 patients during the cumulative 103,098 days they resided in our 45-bed tertiary ICU and simulated the impact of important strategic fluid choices on patients' chloride burdens. In septic patients, we assessed the impact of the different fluid sources on cumulative fluid balance, an established marker of morbidity. RESULTS Maintenance and replacement fluids accounted for 24.7% of the mean daily total fluid volume, thereby far exceeding resuscitation fluids (6.5%) and were the most important sources of sodium and chloride. Fluid creep represented a striking 32.6% of the mean daily total fluid volume [median 645 mL (IQR 308-1039 mL)]. Chloride levels can be more effectively reduced by adopting a hypotonic maintenance strategy [a daily difference in chloride burden of 30.8 mmol (95% CI 30.5-31.1)] than a balanced resuscitation strategy [daily difference 3.0 mmol (95% CI 2.9-3.1)]. In septic patients, non-resuscitation fluids had a larger absolute impact on cumulative fluid balance than did resuscitation fluids. CONCLUSIONS Inadvertent daily volume, sodium, and chloride loading should be avoided when prescribing maintenance fluids in view of the vast amounts of fluid creep. This is especially important when adopting an isotonic maintenance strategy.

Abstract
Background Hyperchloremia is common in critically ill septic patients. The impact of hyperchloremia on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is not well studied. We investigated the association between hyperchloremia and AKI within the first 72 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Methods 6490 ICU adult patients admitted with severe sepsis or septic shock were screened for eligibility. Exclusion criteria included: AKI on admission, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 ml/min/1.73 m2, chronic renal replacement therapy, absent baseline serum creatinine data, and absent serum chloride data on ICU admission. Results A total of 1045 patients were available for analysis following the implementation of eligibility criteria: 303 (29%) had hyperchloremia (Cl0 ≥ 110 mEq/L) on ICU admission, 561 (54%) were normochloremic (Cl0 101–109 mEq/L) and 181 (17%) were hypochloremic (Cl0 ≤ 100 mEq/L). AKI within the first 72 h of ICU stay was the dependent variable. Chloride on ICU admission (Cl0) and change in Cl by 72 h (ΔCl = Cl72 – Cl0) were the independent variables. The odds for AKI were not different in the hyperchloremic group when compared to the normochloremic group [adjusted odds ratio (OR) =0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] (0.51–1.25); p = 0.33] after adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, baseline kidney function, drug exposure and critical illness indicators including cumulative fluid balance and base deficit. Furthermore, within the subgroup of patients with hyperchloremia on ICU admission, neither Cl0 nor ΔCl was associated with AKI or with moderate/severe AKI (KDIGO Stage ≥2). Conclusions Hyperchloremia occurs commonly among critically ill septic patients admitted to the ICU, but does not appear to be associated with an increased risk for AKI within the first 72 h of admission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute metabolic acidosis is rarely associated with a reduced or negative anion gap (AG), but several case reports have described such an abnormality occurring in the setting of acute salicylate intoxication. The underlying cause of this phenomenon is unclear. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed our institutional database to identify all patients admitted for salicylate intoxication at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA) from January 2010 through December 2012. Serum chloride was measured with the Cobas INTEGRA 400 plus electrode (expedited laboratory test) or Cobas 6000 (routine laboratory test). We compared blood chloride levels measured by the 2 devices in the presence of positive blood salicylate level. RESULTS Twelve adult patients with salicylate levels >20 mg/dL had markedly elevated chloride concentrations. The median (interquartile range) chloride level at admission was 120 (107-145) mmol/L on their initial laboratory studies, resulting in reduced or even negative AGs. None of the patients had bromide toxicity, nor did they have any other identifiable cause of hyperchloremia or decreased AG. Further testing of the same blood samples with an alternative measurement system (Roche Cobas 6000) yielded normal chloride values, indicating that falsely elevated chloride values with the initial testing led to the diminished or negative AG values. CONCLUSION Circulating levels of salicylate can interfere with chloride measured by using routine techniques, resulting in spurious hyperchloremia outcomes and erroneous AG values. In patients with acute metabolic acidosis and abnormally reduced or negative AG, salicylate interference with chloride measurement should be suspected.

Abstract
Background Normal anion gap metabolic acidosis is a common but often misdiagnosed clinical condition associated with diarrhea and renal tubular acidosis (RTA). Early identification of RTA remains challenging for inexperienced physicians, and diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. Summary The presence of RTA should be considered in any patient with a high chloride level when the CL-/Na+ ratio is above 0.79, if the patient does not have diarrhea. In patients with significant hyperkalemia one should evaluate for RTA type 4, especially in diabetic patients, with a relatively conserved renal function. A still growing list of medications can produce RTA. Key Messages This review highlights practical aspects concerning normal anion gap metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
Since its original description in 1832, fluid resuscitation has become the cornerstone of early and aggressive treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock. However, questions remain about optimal fluid composition, dose, and rate of administration for critically ill patients. This article reviews pertinent physiology of the circulatory system, pathogenesis of septic shock, and phases of sepsis resuscitation, and then focuses on the type, rate, and amount of fluid administration for severe sepsis and septic shock, so providers can choose the right fluid, for the right patient, at the right time.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to objectively evaluate the biochemical and pathophysiological properties of 0.9% saline (henceforth: saline) and to discuss the impact of saline infusion, specifically on systemic acid-base balance and renal hemodynamics. Studies have shown that electrolyte balance, including effects of saline infusion on serum electrolytes, is often poorly understood among practicing physicians and inappropriate saline prescribing can cause increased morbidity and mortality. Large-volume (>2 L) saline infusion in healthy adults induces hyperchloremia which is associated with metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and negative protein balance. Saline overload (80 ml/kg) in rodents can cause intestinal edema and contractile dysfunction associated with activation of sodium-proton exchanger (NHE) and decrease in myosin light chain phosphorylation. Saline infusion can also adversely affect renal hemodynamics. Microperfusion experiments and real-time imaging studies have demonstrated a reduction in renal perfusion and an expansion in kidney volume, compromising O2 delivery to the renal parenchyma following saline infusion. Clinically, saline infusion for patients post abdominal and cardiovascular surgery is associated with a greater number of adverse effects including more frequent blood product transfusion and bicarbonate therapy, reduced gastric blood flow, delayed recovery of gut function, impaired cardiac contractility in response to inotropes, prolonged hospital stay, and possibly increased mortality. In critically ill patients, saline infusion, compared to balanced fluid infusions, increases the occurrence of acute kidney injury. In summary, saline is a highly acidic fluid. With the exception of saline infusion for patients with hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis and volume depletion due to vomiting or upper gastrointestinal suction, indiscriminate use, especially for acutely ill patients, may cause unnecessary complications and should be avoided. More education regarding saline-related effects and adequate electrolyte management is needed.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury and hyperchloremia are commonly present in critically ill septic patients. Our study goal was to evaluate the association of hyperchloremia and acute kidney injury in severe sepsis and septic shock patients. Methods In this retrospective cohort study in a provincial tertiary care hospital, adult patients with severe sepsis or septic shock and serum chloride measurements were included. Serum chloride was measured on a daily basis for 48 hours. Primary outcome was development of acute kidney injury (AKI) and association of AKI and serum chloride parameters was analyzed. Results A total of 240 patients were included in the study, 98 patients (40.8 %) had hyperchloremia. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was significantly higher in the hyperchloremia group (85.7 % vs 47.9 %; p < 0.001). Maximal chloride concentration in the first 48 hours ([Cl-]max) was significantly associated with AKI. In multivariate analysis, [Cl-]max was independently associated with AKI [adjusted odds ratio (OR) for AKI = 1.28 (1.02–1.62); p = 0.037]. The increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-] = [Cl-]max – initial chloride concentration) demonstrated a dose-dependent relationship with severity of AKI. The mean Δ[Cl-] in patients without AKI was 2.1 mmol/L while in the patients with AKI stage 1, 2 and 3 the mean Δ[Cl-] was 5.1, 5.9 and 6.7 mmol/L, respectively. A moderate increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-] ≥ 5 mmol/L) was associated with AKI [OR = 5.70 (3.00–10.82); p < 0.001], even in patients without hyperchloremia [OR = 8.25 (3.44–19.78); p < 0.001]. Conclusions Hyperchloremia is common in severe sepsis and septic shock and independently associated with AKI. A moderate increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-] ≥5 mmol/L) is associated with AKI even in patients without hyperchloremia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal chloride levels are commonly observed in critically ill patients, but their clinical relevance remains a matter of debate. We examined the association between abnormal chloremia and ICU and hospital mortality. To further refine findings and integrate them into the ongoing discussion on the detrimental effects of chloride-rich solutions, the impact of strong ion difference (SID) on the same end points was assessed. METHODS Retrospective cohort study in an academic tertiary intensive care unit on 8830 adult patients who stayed at least 24 h in the ICU was carried out. Patients admitted after elective cardiac surgery were treated as a separate subgroup (n = 2350). Analyses were performed using multivariable logistic regression. All statistical models were extensively adjusted for confounders, including comorbidity, admission diagnosis, other electrolytes and acid-base parameters. RESULTS Severe hyperchloremia (>110 mmol/L), but not low (SID) was significantly associated with increased mortality in the ICU (odds ratio vs. normochloremia 1.81; 95 % CI 1.32-2.50; p < 0.001) and the hospital (odds ratio 1.49; 95 % CI 1.14-1.96; p = 0.003). Hyperchloremia and low (SID) were encountered in the majority of patients admitted after cardiac surgery (in 86.9 and 47.2 %, respectively), but were not negatively associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS In the ICU, hyperchloremia at admission was associated with negative outcome. On the other hand, decreased strong ion difference did not have an impact on mortality, precluding a simple extrapolation of these findings to the ongoing discussion on the detrimental effects of chloride-rich solutions. This notion is fueled by the finding that hyperchloremia after cardiac surgery, frequently encountered and probably fluid-induced, did not seem to be deleterious.

Abstract
PURPOSE The recommended method for elucidating the effects of strong ions other than lactate on acid-base balance is to calculate the non-lactate strong ion difference (SIDnl). A relationship between HCO3 (-) and SIDnl in hyperchloremic patients has already been demonstrated; in the present study, the relationships between SIDnl, the apparent strong ion difference (SIDa), and mortality at intensive care unit (ICU) admission were investigated. METHODS In our two-center study, 2691 patients admitted to the ICU were retrospectively evaluated, including 1069 critically ill patients. These patients were divided into three subgroups according to their SIDnl levels at admission to the ICU: low (<38 mmol L(-1)), normal (38-40 mmol L(-1)), and high (>40 mmol L(-1)). Patient age, gender, diagnosis, blood gas values, length of ICU stay, and mortality were recorded. RESULTS The low-SIDnl group included 768 patients (71.8 %), the normal-SIDnl group consisted of 127 patients (11.9 %), and the high-SIDnl group contained 174 patients (16.3 %). There was no significant difference in lactate levels among the SIDnl groups (p = 0.635). In a multivariate logistic regression model, likelihood of mortality was increased 1.24-fold (1.20-1.28), 2.56-fold (1.61-4.08) and 2.55-fold (1.003-6.47) by APACHE II, lactate level ≥2mmol L(-) and low SIDnl (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.049, respectively). CONCLUSIONS SIDnl can be used to determine the effects of strong ions other than lactate on SIDa values and acid-base balance. Furthermore, a low SIDnl at ICU admission can be a prognostic indicator of mortality.

Abstract
Acquired vesico-rectal fistula is an uncommon complication of pelvic malignant tumors, surgical injury, inflammatory disorders such as tuberculosis infection, radiotherapy and less commonly diverticulum of the urinary tract. The fistula is often identified by urinary tract abnormalities such as dysuria, recurrent urinary tract infection, pneumaturia, and fecaluria. Here, we report an unusual case of a patient with a vesico-rectal fistula of tuberculous origin, presenting with severe acute diarrhea, metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia and hypokalemia while with only mild urinary tract symptoms. The patient was cured by tuberculostatic therapy.

Abstract
Fluid therapy is a cornerstone of emergency medicine, but equine practitioners should be aware of recent developments that have modified previous recommendations. First, new emphasis on the avoidance of hyperchloremia suggests that crystalloids with a lower chloride concentration may be more appropriate for use. Second, modifications to the understanding of the Starling equation suggest that the benefits of colloids may be more limited than previously thought. In addition, the negative effects of fluid overload on morbidity and mortality are becoming increasingly recognized. Although more specific research in horses is needed, these principles are likely to apply across all species.
