Chloride shift is also known as the Hamburger phenomenon, named after Hartog Jacob Hamburger. It is a process which occurs in a cardiovascular system and refers to the exchange of bicarbonate $(H C O_{3}^{-} a n d C l^{-})$ across the membrane of red blood cells (RBCs) to maintain the neutrality of the plasma. $H C O_{3}^{-}$ ions move out from plasma and $C l^{-}$ ions enter into RBC.
