Effective strong-ion difference, sodium-corrected chloride, albumin, and nonvolatile weak acid levels in severe hyperlactatemia patients. Values for (a) the effective strong-ion difference ([SID]effective), (b) sodium-corrected chloride levels ([Cl-]corrected), (c) the albumin concentration, and (d) nonvolatile weak acid ([Atot-]) levels in patients with severe hyperlactatemia, with normal or low base excess. *P < 0.05 versus the other group.
