Chloride Blood Test Procedure

It is a simple procedure where a small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. The person performing the test will clean the area with an antiseptic to avert infection. Later, they wrap an elastic band on the arm to allow the veins to get filled with blood and be visible. He will draw a small blood sample using a sharp needle and then cover the area with a bandage. The laboratory will analyse the blood sample within one or two days.

Test Preparation

This is a simple blood test. So, generally, there is no special preparation needed for a chloride lab test unless a healthcare provider instructs the person with some specific guidelines. It is vital for an individual to consult with or seek advice from their doctor about any medicines that they are taking before the test.
