What is Chloride?
Chloride is an essential electrolyte found in the blood and throughout the body. It helps regulate the volume of fluids and maintain the acid-base balance in the body.
Why should you have Chloride tested?
Testing chloride can be useful for assessing kidney health, detecting dehydration, or checking for an electrolyte imbalance, especially if you suffer from persistent symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, or frequent vomiting.
What does it indicate?
The chloride level in your blood can provide insight into the functioning of your metabolism and how well your body maintains the acid-base balance. It may also indicate potential disturbances in the electrolyte balance, which are essential for normal cellular and organ functions.
What does a high chloride level mean?
A high chloride level, also known as hyperchloremia, may indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or certain forms of metabolic acidosis, where the blood becomes too acidic.
What does a low chloride level mean?
A low chloride level, or hypochloremia, may indicate overhydration, heart failure, or conditions that lead to overly alkaline (basic) blood, such as metabolic alkalosis.
