Serum Albumin Ratios Can Improve Sepsis Mortality Prediction

Serum albumin ratios were calculated as the ratio between the estimated blood lactate, and serum levels of CRP and PCT divided by the estimated serum albumin level to get the lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR), CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and procalcitonin (PCT)-to-albumin ratio (PAR).

The serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are divided by the estimated serum albumin level to get the CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR).

The serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT) are divided by the estimated serum albumin level to get the PCT-to-albumin ratio (PAR).

The serum levels of blood lactate are divided by the estimated serum albumin level to get the lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR).
