Chloride is absorbed in the small intestines through an exchange process with bicarbonate as sodium is absorbed. 99% of chloride is reabsorbed in the kidneys, mainly in the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and collecting duct. Plasma chloride levels vary depending on plasma sodium and bicarbonate concentrations - chloride decreases with increases in sodium or bicarbonate, and increases with decreases in sodium or bicarbonate.
