Fecal chloride

Fecal chloride inspection is a routine item of stool. Chloride is the most abundant and most widely used anion in the human body. A 70Kg adult has approximately 81.7g of chloride, 88% of which are located outside the cell. The body regulates the amount of chloride in the body through dietary absorption and excretion of the digestive tract and kidneys to maintain the body's normal water and electrolyte balance.
