anion in the human body needed for metabolism (the process of turning food into energy).[1] It also helps keep the body's acid-base balance. The amount of serum chloride is carefully controlled by the kidneys.[2]

Chloride ions have important

chloride-bicarbonate exchanger biological transport protein relies on the chloride ion to increase the blood's capacity of carbon dioxide, in the form of the bicarbonate ion; this is the mechanism underpinning the chloride shift
occurring as the blood passes through oxygen-consuming capillary beds.

The normal

blood reference range of chloride for adults in most labs is 96 to 106 milliequivalents (mEq) per liter. The normal range may vary slightly from lab to lab. Normal ranges are usually shown next to results in the lab report. A diagnostic test may use a chloridometer
to determine the serum chloride level.

The North American Dietary Reference Intake recommends a daily intake of between 2300 and 3600 mg/day for 25-year-old males.
