CHLORIDE
What does CHLORIDE measure?
This test measures the level of chloride, an electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, blood acidity, and normal nerve and muscle function. It may be ordered as part of an electrolyte or metabolic evaluation to help assess hydration status, kidney function, or changes related to certain medical conditions or medicines. Results are interpreted alongside other laboratory findings and clinical information.
