Preparation & Test Process
Understanding Your Results
High chloride levels (Hyperchloremia) may occur due to dehydration,
kidney disorders, metabolic acidosis, or excessive salt intake.
Low chloride levels (Hypochloremia) may be associated with prolonged
vomiting, diarrhea, heart failure, adrenal disorders, or metabolic alkalosis.
Chloride results are typically interpreted together with sodium, potassium,
bicarbonate, kidney function tests, and your overall clinical condition.
