In this paper the kernel for the spectral correlation functions of invariant chiral random matrix ensembles with real ({beta}=1 ) and quaternion real ({beta}=4 ) matrix elements is expressed in terms of the kernel of the corresponding complex Hermitian random matrix ensembles ({beta}=2 ). Such identities are exact in case of a Gaussian probability distribution and, under certain smoothness assumptions, they are shown to be valid asymptotically for an arbitrary finite polynomial potential. They are proved by means of a construction proposed by Brezin and Neuberger. Universal behavior of the eigenvalues close to zero for all three chiral ensembles then follows from microscopic universality for {beta}=2 as shown by Akemann, Damgaard, Magnea, and Nishigaki. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
