What causes high Chloride and low Phosphorus?

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

If your Chloride is in between 98 mmol/L and 107 mmol/L and your Phosphorus is in between 2.5 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Chloride and Phosphorus 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
