Chloride is an electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and blood pH. Abnormal levels of chloride may indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or other health problems.

iollo markers that associate with Chloride

​
Carnitine

Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound that exists as a cation at physiological pH. As such, its concentrations and transport may interact with chloride anion levels to maintain electroneutrality.

​
Glutamine

Glutamine is involved in acid-base balance and can be metabolized to yield ammonium ions, which are exchanged for chloride and other ions to regulate pH. Glutamine levels may therefore associate with chloride.

​
Taurine

Taurine is an amino acid that can act as an osmolyte to help regulate cellular chloride levels and fluid balance. Abnormalities in taurine may relate to altered chloride homeostasis.
