What Chloride measures

Labs measure chloride concentration in blood, which typically moves together with sodium.

Why ranges differ

Laboratories set their own reference intervals using their methods, equipment, and population data. That is why the range on your Quest report may differ from a LabCorp report — always use the interval printed on your source document.

Common units

Chloride is often reported in mmol/L. Confirm units on your original report before comparing values across time.
