# Chloride

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.
