About This Test
Chloride is the major extracellular anion and plays a vital role in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, osmotic pressure, and acid–base equilibrium.
It closely interacts with sodium (Na⁺) and bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) to maintain electroneutrality and pH stability.
Chloride levels are interpreted in conjunction with sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate levels to assess the body’s electrolyte and acid–base status.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
