Test Details

Chloride is the major extracellular anion. It plays a vital role in maintaining osmotic pressure, fluid balance, and acid-base regulation. It is usually associated with sodium as NaCl and is reabsorbed in the kidneys to maintain homeostasis. Abnormal chloride levels may indicate dehydration, kidney disorders, respiratory problems, or acid-base imbalances such as acidosis or alkalosis.

Chloride

Test Code: MTC00252

Chloride is an important electrolyte in the blood that helps maintain fluid balance, regulate blood acidity (pH), and works with sodium and potassium to support normal body functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this test

High chloride may result from dehydration, high salt intake, kidney failure, certain drugs, or metabolic acidosis.
Low chloride often follows vomiting, diarrhea, burns, diuretics, or alkalosis.
Symptoms include weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, breathing issues, blood pressure changes, and severe confusion.
Chloride balances pH with bicarbonate; imbalance causes acidosis or alkalosis.
It pairs with sodium as NaCl, maintaining osmotic pressure and fluid balance.
Kidneys regulate chloride, so kidney disease alters its level.
