Chloride
Chloride is a clinical biomarker on the Gastrointestinal panel, reported in mEq/L. Standard reference range: 98–110 mEq/L. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 102–106 mEq/L.
What is Chloride?
Chloride is the major extracellular anion contributing to osmolality, acid-base balance, and gastric HCl production; levels mirror sodium changes and shift with acid-base disturbances.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (mEq/L) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 98–110 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 102–106 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Chloride
SomaVue maps every result for Chloride against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
