Chloride, 24 Hour Urine

Chloride, 24 Hour Urine is a test that measures the amount of chloride excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Chloride is an essential electrolyte that plays a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, acid-base balance, and proper nerve and muscle function. This test is useful for assessing kidney function, diagnosing electrolyte imbalances, and evaluating conditions such as dehydration, kidney disease, or metabolic disorders. Monitoring chloride levels can provide valuable insights into a patient’s overall health and help guide appropriate treatment options.
