What causes high Chloride and low Calcium?

High Chloride and low Calcium can be caused by many reasons.

If your Chloride is in between 98 mmol/L and 107 mmol/L and your Calcium is in between 8.5 mg/dL and 10.1 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Chloride and Calcium respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Chloride levels include:

• Diabetic ketoacidosis
• Metabolic acidosis
• Chronic lung diseases
• Addison disease
• Congestive heart failure

Normal range of Chloride : 98 - 107 mmol/L
