About Serum Chloride Test

Why is a serum chloride test done?

Electrically charged minerals or electrolytes help keep the balance between many bodily functions. Chloride is an electrolyte that helps balance the acid and base concentration in the body. A chloride test is often suggested when the doctors suspect abnormal functioning of the kidneys or issues related to blood pressure. Chloride also aids the fluid movement in the cells.

When an imbalance of chloride electrolytes occurs in the body, the patient might feel or show the following symptoms:

  • Excessive lethargy or fatigue
  • Weakness in muscles
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • Excessive dehydration
  • Diarrhea
  • Frequent vomiting
What does the serum chloride test measure?

As part of general blood and electrolyte tests, a chloride test is usually ordered when patients complain of high blood pressure or signs of cholesterol formation are seen in the person. Problems with the nervous system can also indicate an imbalance in the chloride levels in the body. For the body to function properly, a daily intake of 3 gm of chloride is prescribed by healthcare providers.

The chloride test also helps ascertain diseases associated with the kidneys, liver, or heart. The level of chloride in the body should remain within the range to ensure the functions associated with it are properly regulated. Both conditions of high chloride levels in the blood or low chloride levels are indicative of diseases or imbalances within the body.

Potential risks/side effects of Serum Chloride test

The collection of samples for a chloride test in is done via taking blood from a vein. Apart from a general sense of being pricked, there are no serious risks associated with opting for the chloride test. People suffering from anemia might feel dizziness and nausea after the samples are taken, but no serious side effects are recorded.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

What medications can cause a rise in chloride levels in the blood?

There are certain prescribed medications, like those for glaucoma, that can cause a rise in chloride in the blood. People using estrogen or cortisone will also see a rise in chloride concentration.

Can aspirin affect my test results?

Yes. Since chloride is an electrolyte that also controls the functioning of the nerve cells, any medication that works on the nervous system will affect the chloride levels in the body.

What causes low chloride in blood?

Hypochloremia can be caused due to loss of bodily fluids, which, in turn, can be caused due to excessive vomiting, diarrhea, sweating or high fever. It can also occur due to excessive consumption of drugs such as Bicarbonate, Corticosteroids, Diuretics, or Laxatives.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the Serum Chloride test results

When a chloride test is prescribed, the doctors are going to ascertain the immediate cause of the discomfort felt by the patient. Once the lab results are in, they will check the levels present and also if the concentration falls within the range considered normal.

The normal range for chloride concentration in the body is between 96 mEq/l (milliequivalents per liter) to 106 mQEq/l. When the concentration is higher than normal, the condition is known as hyperchloremia. When the concentration is lower than normal, the condition is known as hypochloremia.

(milliequivalents per liter)

Health Risk
96 mEq/l – 106mQEq/l NORMAL/ Manageable
>106mQEq/l Hyperchloremia
<96 mEq/l Hypochloremia

Hyperchloremia is an indication of:

  • Bromide poisoning
  • Renal or metabolic acidosis
  • Respiratory alkalosis
  • Excessive dehydration
  • Cushing’s syndrome

Hypochloremia is an indication of:

  • Heart failure
  • Lung diseases
  • Addison’s disease
  • Metabolic alkalosis
  • Excessive sweating

The levels of chloride in the blood can also be affected by certain medications or the amount of fluid the body has at the time the sample was collected. A general fluctuation, but within the range, of chloride levels, is not considered to be an indication of any disease.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
