Chlorides Test Overview
Chloride is an electrolyte found in the blood, urine and body fluids. Chloride helps move fluid in and out of your cells. So if your chloride levels drop, you can become sick and dehydrated. If your levels are too high, it often means your kidneys aren’t working properly. Chlorides along with sodium and potassium give the electrolyte status of the body. Chloride levels are measured with other electrolytes to identify or monitor conditions like diseases of the heart, kidney, liver, etc.
A chloride (Cl) serum blood test is often used as a part of a routine blood screening to check general health and to diagnose conditions related to electrolyte or fluid imbalance in the body.
