Because in low aldosterone, your body cannot retain sodium so when it goes low

to keep balance the body will lower it's potassium to try ot keep a balance in

these two critical elements. The chloride I do nto think has any means to self

regulate so it builds form the sodium chloride oyu ingest.

Val,

Thanks, that is what I was guessing.But I didn't know for sure if

chloride had a regulatory mechanism. If not, no wonder it would build

while sodium and potassium stay low, or lowish.

Are there adverse effects from high chloride? Also, I wonder if

chloride still stays high when people treat low aldosterone with florinef.
