Know more about this test

This test measures the amount of chloride in the blood. It is an electrolyte that helps to control the amount of fluids and maintains the pH of the body. This test is recommended in case of symptoms such as prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, weakness, dehydration, constricted breathing. It is also advised as a part of routine investigation in case of heart, kidney, liver or hypertension patients.

High levels of chloride indicate dehydration, kidney disease, acidosis and alkalosis. While low levels of chloride may be due to heart faliure, lung faliure and addison's disease.

Abnormal chloride level does not necessarily indicate a medical condition. Sometimes it can be the consequence of excessive fluid intake or excessive fluid loss due to vomiting or diarrhea. A physician should be consulted for the accurate interpretation of the results.

What does Chloride measure?

Chloride is an essential mineral which acts as an electrolyte along with potassium, sodium, bicarbonate, etc. It helps to maintain the normal fluid and electrolyte balance of the body. It also acts as a buffer to help maintain the pH balance of the body. It also plays essential roles in metabolism. Chloride is used by the stomach to produce hydrochloric acid (HCl) for digestion. Chloride is present in all body fluids and is found in highest concentration in the blood and extracellular fluid (fluid present outside the cells).

Most of the chloride intake is through dietary salt (sodium chloride or NaCl), and a small portion through other food items. The body absorbs the required amount and the kidneys excrete the remaining through urine. The concentration of chloride in blood is maintained within a very narrow range by the body and usually increases or decreases in direct correlation with sodium levels.
