About this test

What is this test for?

Chloride results contribute to evaluation of electrolyte imbalance and metabolic disturbances. Abnormal levels may indicate dehydration, kidney issues, or respiratory and metabolic disorders.


What does this test measure?

This test measures chloride, an essential electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, blood volume, and acid-base equilibrium in the body. Chloride works closely with sodium and bicarbonate to regulate pH.


When is this test recommended?

Chloride levels are commonly assessed as part of an electrolyte panel, particularly when evaluating dehydration, kidney function, or acid-base balance. Testing may be requested in the context of persistent vomiting, diarrhoea, or metabolic disorders.
