Term:
urine chloride excretion rate to body weight ratio
A calculated measurement in which urine chloride ion excretion rate is divided by the total weight of the body, i.e., the heaviness or the degree to which the body of the organism is drawn toward the earth by gravity, and presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage.
