Service Providers for Spot Urine Chloride (Cl)
Spot Urine Chloride (Cl) is a test that measures the concentration of chloride ions in a single urine sample. Chloride is an important electrolyte that helps maintain fluid and acid-base balance in the body. This test is often used to evaluate kidney function, hydration status, and electrolyte imbalances. It can also be part of diagnosing conditions like metabolic acidosis, dehydration, or kidney disease. The result is typically given in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Abnormal levels can indicate issues such as fluid imbalances, excessive salt intake, or kidney dysfunction. Results are usually available quickly, typically within a day.
