What is Serum chloride?

Chloride is a negatively charged molecule known as an electrolyte. It works with other electrolytes, such as potassium, salt (sodium), and carbon dioxide (CO2), to help keep the proper balance of body fluids and maintain the body's acid-base balance.

The serum chloride test measures the amount of chloride in the fluid portion of the blood.
