Chloride concentration (from important salts in the blood) - Chloride, Serum (Cl)

🧂 Chloride analysis in blood This analysis measures the level of chloride, which is one of the important salts that help in balancing fluids and acids inside the body, and works with sodium and potassium to regulate muscle and kidney function. If the level is high, the possible causes are: dehydration, kidney problems, or use of diuretic medications. If it is low, it may indicate: vomiting or diarrhea for a long time, or a deficiency of salts due to malnutrition or medications. 🩺 Why does the doctor request the analysis? Usually with electrolyte tests and kidney function tests, especially if there is dizziness, fatigue, or blood pressure disturbance. 💡 Advice: It is preferable to do the analysis along with other electrolyte tests (sodium, potassium, bicarbonate), so the doctor can assess the balance in the body accurately.
