About test
What does Chloride-Serum measure?
A serum chloride test measures the level of chloride, an important electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, blood acidity, and normal nerve and muscle function. It may be ordered as part of an electrolyte panel to help assess hydration status, kidney function, acid-base balance, or conditions associated with vomiting, diarrhoea, or certain medicines. Results are interpreted along with other laboratory findings and clinical information.
