==Diagnosis== Elevated levels of chloride in the blood can be tested simply by requesting a [[serum chloride]] test. A doctor would request this test if there are signs their patient is experiencing an imbalance in [[Acid-base balance|acid-base]] levels for a prolonged period of time.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/side-effects/hyperchloremia-high-chloride.aspx|title=Hyperchloremia (High Chloride) - Managing Side Effects - Chemocare|last=Cancer|first=Cleveland Clinic|website=chemocare.com|language=en|access-date=2017-12-12|archive-date=2020-03-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200327163200/http://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/side-effects/hyperchloremia-high-chloride.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> For the test to occur a healthcare provider must draw a sample of blood from the patient. The sample will then be sent to a laboratory and results will be provided to the patient's physician. As mentioned earlier a normal serum chloride range is from 96 to 106 mEq/L, and hyperchloremic patients will have levels above this range.<ref name=":3" />
