Perspective plot for the association between albumin, apparent strong ion difference (SID a ) and IL6 levels. Note that for the most frequent SIDa range (marked by dashed lines from 36 (†) to 45 (‡) mEq/L) there was no relationship with IL6 levels and SIDa. For abnormal values (both high and low) IL6 tended to increase. This association did not occur for higher albumin levels (*above 2.2 g/dL).
