Electrolyte concentrations over time. Patient's admission electrolytes on day 1 were: Na+ 144, K+ 3.6, Cl− 175, HCO3− 25, Ca (reported in mEq/L). The patient was seen several months earlier in outpatient appointment and as reflected in day −195, had normal chloride levels. Saline diuresis was initiated on day 2. Bromide and chloride levels over the next 5 days show a decrease in both values over time. Normal range of chloride and sodium levels are denoted by dashed blue ( mEq) and red ( mEq) lines, respectively. Toxic bromide levels are denoted by dashed black line (5 mEq).
