Chloride is an electrolyte that helps keep a proper fluid and acid-base balance in your body. The chloride blood test, or serum chloride level, is often a part of a comprehensive metabolic panel or a basic metabolic panel.
The blood test can also be used to monitor conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease.
The normal range for blood chloride is between 96 and 106 milliequivalents of chloride per liter of blood (mEq/L).
