- The lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) is a novel prognostic marker for critical illnesses, including acute pancreatitis-associated acute kidney injury (AP-AKI).
- Higher LAR levels are significantly associated with increased 30-day all-cause mortality in AP-AKI patients.
- LAR outperforms lactate or albumin alone in predicting mortality, with an AUC of 0.695, comparable to the SOFA score.
- A nonlinear relationship exists between LAR and 30-day mortality, with the high LAR group showing significantly higher mortality rates.
- LAR is a simple, accessible, and independent predictor of mortality, useful for early risk assessment when combined with other scores.
