Hypochloremia, the Glossary
Hypochloremia (or Hypochloraemia) is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally low level of the chloride ion in the blood.[1]

Alkalosis
Alkalosis is the result of a process reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia).
See Hypochloremia and Alkalosis
Blood
Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.
Chloride
The term chloride refers to a compound or molecule that contains either a chlorine ion, which is a negatively charged chlorine atom, or a non-charged chlorine atom covalently bonded to the rest of the molecule by a single bond.
See Hypochloremia and Chloride
Chlorine
Chlorine is a chemical element; it has symbol Cl and atomic number 17.
See Hypochloremia and Chlorine
Electrolyte imbalance
Electrolyte imbalance, or water-electrolyte imbalance, is an abnormality in the concentration of electrolytes in the body. Hypochloremia and electrolyte imbalance are electrolyte disturbances.
See Hypochloremia and Electrolyte imbalance
Hyponatremia
Hyponatremia or hyponatraemia is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. Hypochloremia and Hyponatremia are electrolyte disturbances.
See Hypochloremia and Hyponatremia
Hypoventilation
Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate (hypo meaning "below") to perform needed respiratory gas exchange.
See Hypochloremia and Hypoventilation
Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory acidosis is a state in which decreased ventilation (hypoventilation) increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood and decreases the blood's pH (a condition generally called acidosis).
See Hypochloremia and Respiratory acidosis
Vomiting
Vomiting (also known as emesis and throwing up) is the involuntary, forceful expulsion of the contents of one's stomach through the mouth and sometimes the nose.
See Hypochloremia and Vomiting
