Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to compare between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and lactate albumin ratio as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in sepsis and septic shock patients
Detailed Description: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection can lead to life threatening multi-organ dysfunction

Septic shock causes circulatory and metabolic abnormalities leading to increased mortality in hospitalized patients especially in intensive care unit ICU patients

Sepsis can affect the function and number of immune cells including neutrophils lymphocytes and monocytes

Neutrophils play crucial roles in the innate cellular immune system Early higher neutrophil counts correlated with increased sepsis severity

In sepsis lymphocytes decrease owing to the apoptosis mediated by innate response

Reversily number of neutrophils dramatically increase reflecting degree of inflammation

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio NLR is a novel inflammatory biomarker that can be obtained through blood routine tests it is cost- effective and widely available and it is beneficial to the early recognition of poor prognosis in septic patients

Albumin is a molecule that is the most abundant protein in plasma For a variety of physiological mechanisms albumin has a variety of function including serving as a major buffer extracellular antioxidant immune modulator antidote and transporter in plasma

Increased capillary leakage of albumin is one of the features of SIRS This means that lower albumin levels correlate with severe systemic inflammation and organ failure

Hypoxia and tissue hypo perfusion seen in sepsis play a key role on the development of multi-organ failure in septic patients

Lactic acidosis is one of the best indicators of the insufficient perfusion or development of anaerobic metabolism during septic shock

The inability of liver to metabolize lactate as a result of the deterioration of liver perfusion also increases lactate levels

The measurement of blood lactate levels used to determine tissue hypoxia is rapid inexpensive and easy

Because lactate and albumin levels progress differently as the development of sepsis proceeds a ratio between the two rather than analyzing lactate and albumin alone may be a new and perhaps better indicator for the patients prognosis
