Abstract
Background: Severe sepsis is common and frequently fatal and
represents a significant health care burden. Sepsis is a syndrome of
physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities induced by
infection. Aim of the work: This study examines the ability of serum
lactate/albumin ratio to predict outcome regarding organ dysfunction
and mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock. Materials and
Methods: It is a prospective observational study conducted on 50
patients with severe sepsis and septic shock according to the
(SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS) International Sepsis Definitions
Conference 2001 and fifty healthy age matched individuals as a
control group. Results: Lactate/albumin ratio was higher on day 0 and
1 in the study group than in control group (p value
