Kidney cysts: are extremely common incidental findings on imaging studies and in the vast majority of cases have no clinical significance. They can develop as you age. They have no bearing on your serum chloride levels.

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the findings you provided are not a cause for concern. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
