Hypochloremia is a medical condition characterized by low levels of chloride in the blood. Chloride is an essential electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, acid-base balance, and proper muscle and nerve function. Normal chloride levels typically range from 98 to 106 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). When levels fall below this range, it can lead to various health issues. The causes of hypochloremia can include excessive vomiting, prolonged diarrhea, or certain medications like diuretics. Symptoms may be mild or absent but can include muscle weakness, fatigue, and respiratory issues. Treatment often focuses on addressing the underlying cause and restoring chloride levels.
