Observational analysis evaluates the link between serum chloride levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate in US adults, highlighting potential kidney function homeostasis.
Chloride, the predominant anion in extracellular fluid from humans, is essential to maintaining homeostasis. One important metric for thoroughly assessing kidney function is the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, the relationship between variations in serum chloride concentration and eGFR in general populations has been poorly studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to elucidate the correlation between serum chloride levels and eGFR within the United States' adult population.
