Chloride test

A chloride test is a medical or laboratory procedure used to measure the amount of chloride, a vital electrolyte, in blood or urine. Since chloride helps maintain fluid balance, pH levels, and proper function of nerves and muscles, this test can help diagnose conditions like dehydration, kidney problems, or electrolyte imbalances. A sample of blood or urine is analyzed in a lab to determine chloride levels, providing important information about your overall health and guiding appropriate treatment if needed.
