The presence of chlorine or chlorine compounds in the blood, or a condition related to abnormal chloride balance in the body.
From chlor- (chlorine) + -aemia (blood condition), following the medical suffix pattern for blood-related conditions. This term appears in older medical literature regarding electrolyte imbalances.
Chloraemia represents early medical thinking about blood chemistry—modern doctors talk about 'hyperchloremia' or 'hypochloremia' instead, showing how medical terminology evolves to be more precise about whether there's too much or too little.
