You need: a thorough examination and workup by an experienced healthcare provider for metabolic acidosis, diabetes insipidus or kidney disease. You may also have dehydration but that usually gives other electrolyte abnormalities. Also ingestion of certain medications or drugs can cause this isolated hyperchloremia. Please see a healthcare provider right away. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Good morning! I went to my PCP to have my blood work done for our HealthyReturns program. The blood work did not come back with all normal levels. My LDL was 121 and they called to tell me to return in 6 months to test again. However, the results show good for my total cholesterol on the HealthyReturns site. My Chloride levels and UR Spec Gravity is low. My Albumin, A/G Ratio, and Baso (Absolute) are high. Should I be concerned or get a 2nd test sooner? Questions Regarding Blood Work Results?
