Why This Biomarker Matters

Abnormal peritoneal chloride levels help diagnose abdominal infections, inflammation, and organ dysfunction. This test is critical for evaluating serious abdominal conditions.

Overview

Chloride is an electrolyte essential for fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. This test measures chloride in peritoneal fluid (fluid around abdominal organs), which helps evaluate conditions affecting the abdomen such as peritonitis, ascites, or organ dysfunction. Abnormal chloride levels in peritoneal fluid can indicate infection, inflammation, or metabolic disturbances requiring medical attention.
