Hypochloremia is when your chloride levels are low. Learn more about what causes it, what to expect, and more.
Hypochloremia occurs when there’s a low level of chloride in your body. It can be caused by fluid loss through nausea or vomiting or by existing conditions, diseases, or...

Hypochloremia is an electrolyte imbalance due to an abnormally low chloride level in your blood. Some medical conditions, medications, and the loss of body fluids can affect the chloride level. This article explains hypochloremia, including its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis.
Hypochloremia (or Hypochloraemia) is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally low level of the chloride ion in the blood. The normal serum range for chloride is 97 to 107 mEq/L. [ citation needed ]
Hypochloremia is an electrolyte disturbance in which the serum chloride concentration is abnormally low. It is frequently associated with another electrolyte abnormality, such as hyponatremia. Chloride measurements are very useful in evaluating acid–base disorders.
Hypochloremia, an electrolyte imbalance, results in low chloride blood levels. It causes fluid loss and dehydration and mostly occurs with other conditions.
Hypochloremia occurs when chloride levels drop below the normal range, typically less than 96 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). While hypochloremia refers to low chloride levels, hyperchloremia is its counterpart, involving elevated chloride levels.
This condition, known medically as hypochloremia, occurs when chloride levels in your bloodstream dip below the normal range. Although a certain amount of chloride fluctuation is typical, significant dips can signal an imbalance, prompting healthcare providers to investigate potential underlying causes.
Values below 95-105 mEq in adults and children are considered low (also known as hypochloremia). Potential causes include excessive chloride loss (such as from vomiting, watery diarrhea, laxative abuse), low-salt infusions, metabolic alkalosis, and many underlying electrolyte imbalances.
