Question 2

my chloride level was 101 which is normal then 6 months later was 93, which is considered slightly low. is this still normal?

Accepted Answer

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, your result is near the normal range and if you do not have any symptoms, you may leave it alone.

Question 3

chloride level was 101 in may but now is 93. why the dip?

Accepted Answer

Serum chloride: Serum chloride concentrations change for only a few reasons - 1. Can dip if serum sodium dips also: will follow sodium. 2. Can dip if serum bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) rises: reciprocal change. 3. Chloride thus is a secondary anion -- it follows another ionic change as above.  Discerning the primary cause is essential:  sodium depletion, water retention (1.).  Bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) retention, chloride loss (2.) Doc knows
