Chloride Serum Test
Introduction to the Chloride Serum Test
The Chloride Serum Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to measure the level of chloride in the blood. Chloride is an essential electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, acid-base balance, and proper muscle and nerve function. An abnormal chloride level can indicate various health conditions, making this test crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the concentration of chloride ions in the serum. It is typically performed alongside other electrolyte tests to provide a comprehensive view of a patient’s electrolyte status.
