What does Chloride Random, Urine measure?

The Chloride Random, Urine test measures the amount of chloride in the urine sample at any time of the day. Chloride is absorbed in the small intestine and remains in the body’s fluids and blood. Any excess amount is excreted in urine. The body gets most of the chloride through dietary salt (sodium chloride or NaCl) and a small amount through other food items. Chloride is usually bound to sodium, and therefore the amount in blood tends to coincide with sodium levels but may also change without any changes in sodium levels when there are problems with the body's pH. Usually, the normal blood chloride level remains steady with a slight fall after meals (because the stomach produces hydrochloric acid using chloride from the blood after we eat food).
