What is CHLORIDE, SERUM?

This blood test measures the level of chloride in your serum, which is the liquid part of your blood. Chloride is an important electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and proper acid-base balance in your body.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal chloride levels can indicate various health issues, including kidney disease, heart failure, dehydration, or acid-base imbalances. It's often part of a routine electrolyte panel to assess overall health.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
