The whole cerebrospinal fluid is classified into 2 fractions. Fraction I contains the whole non-dialysable material and Fraction II is the combined diffusible material.
Fraction II is majorly composed of inorganic ions like chloride ions, sodium ions, and almost 0.5-5.6% of nitrogen content.
The chloride ion concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid is almost equivalent to the plasma chloride concentration, which is almost 130 mEq per liter.
So, for 100 ml of cerebrospinal fluid, the chloride ion concentration should be around 13 mEq.
