@anking-maintainers Some discrepancy between the original UW table and current AMBOSS; anyone know if UW has updated to >40 or <20 for their cutoffs here?
Other relevant note for saline-responsive would be nid:1496626848604 (also a suggestion open there)
UW does not comment on this extensively, but it uses <20 or >20 to divide saline unresponsive vs. responsive in flowchart

We’ve also got nid:1575176245000 where we use AMBOSS’ cutoffs in extra:
- Saline-responsive contributors to metabolic alkalosis (e.g. vomiting, diuretic use) generally have a low associated urine chloride (<25 mEq/L), whereas saline-resistant metabolic alkalosis (e.g. primary and secondary aldosteronism, Bartter syndrome, Gitelman syndrome, exogenous alkali administration) has a high urinary chloride concentration (>40 mEq/L) resulting from the excess mineralocorticoid effect
