Your doctor will read it with sodium, bicarbonate and kidney function, and often repeat it.

When a chloride can read wrong

Chloride follows water and sodium: being dehydrated raises it, and IV saline raises it more. Some labs' ranges run to 107 or 110, so read it against the range on your report.
