ALB and Sepsis: Comparing albumin levels between survivors and non-survivors in patients with sepsis lower albumin levels (mean, 2.7 ± 0.7 g/dL versus 2.9 ± 0.6 g/dL), along with higher serum lactate levels (mean, 3.6 ± 3 mmol/L versus 2.1 ± 1.5 mmol/L), and a higher L/A ratio (mean 1.5 ± 1.4 versus 0.8 ± 0.6), all linked to higher mortality [18].
