Hypochloremia (or Hypochloraemia) is an electrolyte disturbance whereby there is an abnormally depleted level of the chloride ion in the blood.

It rarely occurs in the absence of other abnormalities.

It can be associated with hypoventilation.^[1]

It can be associated with chronic respiratory acidosis.^[2]

If it occurs together with metabolic alkalosis (decreased blood acidity) it is often due to vomiting.
