The serum chloride test measures the concentration of chloride in the blood, an essential electrolyte for fluid balance and proper cell function. It is crucial for evaluating acid-base balance and kidney function, as well as for diagnosing and monitoring diseases related to electrolyte imbalances. We use the Ion-selective electrode technique to ensure accurate and reliable results. This test is vital for patients with symptoms of dehydration, kidney disease, or electrolyte imbalances.
No special preparation is required before the test. It is important that the sample is not hemolyzed. Inform the staff about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may interfere with the results.
