Chloride
About This Test
Chloride is a key electrolyte that helps keep your body’s fluids and acid-base balance in check. Abnormal levels may reflect dehydration, vomiting/diarrhea, kidney or adrenal issues, or effects of diuretics. Doctors read chloride alongside sodium, potassium, and CO₂ to understand your overall chemistry balance. This test is commonly included in routine chemistry panels to spot problems early.
