What is a Chloride Test?

A Chloride Test is a blood test that measures the level of chloride, an important electrolyte in your body. Chloride works along with sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate to maintain proper fluid balance, blood volume, and acid-base balance.

This test is commonly performed as part of an electrolyte panel or routine health check-up. Doctors may recommend a Chloride test in Jodhpur to evaluate dehydration, kidney function, metabolic disorders, or conditions that affect the body's electrolyte balance.
The test requires a simple blood sample and helps in identifying various health problems at an early stage.
