Chloride is an electrolyte. It is a negatively charged ion that works with other electrolytes such as potassium sodium and bicarbonate to help regulate the amount of fluid in the body and maintain the acid-base balance. This test measures the level of chloride in the blood and/or urine. Chloride is present in all body fluids but is found in the highest concentration in the blood and in the fluid outside of the body’s cells. Most of the time chloride concentrations mirror those of sodium increasing and decreasing for the same reasons and in direct relationship to sodium. When there is an acid-base imbalance however blood chloride levels can change independently of sodium levels as chloride acts as a buffer. It helps to maintain electrical neutrality at the cellular level by moving into or out of the cells as needed
