Your chloride is in the healthy range, contributing to the proper acid-base balance and fluid regulation in your body.
Very low chloride is seen in noticeable vomiting, metabolic alkalosis, or major fluid loss disorders. It very disrupts your blood's acid-base balance, which affects almost every organ system.
This needs urgent medical attention. Seek immediate care — IV fluid and electrolyte correction are needed urgently.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Low chloride (hypochloremia) is most commonly caused by prolonged vomiting, excessive sweating, diuretic medications, or overhydration. It can disrupt the body's acid-base balance.
See your doctor to identify the cause. Most cases resolve once the underlying issue (vomiting, medication) is addressed.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A borderline low chloride is often a minor finding related to diet, hydration, or mild metabolic changes. It rarely may contribute to symptoms at this level.
No urgent action needed. Retest at your next check-up.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour chloride is in the healthy range, contributing to the proper acid-base balance and fluid regulation in your body.
No action needed.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour chloride level is in the ideal range, supporting normal acid-base balance and helping your cells function properly.
No action needed.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalBorderline high chloride is often related to mild dehydration or a slightly acidic metabolic state. It is rarely significant in isolation.
Ensure adequate hydration. Retest at follow-up.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highHigh chloride (hyperchloremia) can indicate dehydration, metabolic acidosis, diarrhea, or kidney tubular acidosis. It shifts the blood's pH toward acidic, which can impair organ function.
Your doctor should evaluate electrolytes, kidney function, and acid-base balance. The underlying cause needs to be identified.
Chloride: {{value}} {{unit}} — above reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Very high chloride indicates noticeable metabolic acidosis, very large dehydration, or significant kidney tubular dysfunction. This disrupts blood pH to a dangerous degree.
Seek urgent medical care. Fluid and electrolyte correction under medical supervision is needed.
