Blood samples wereobtained from all the patients and serum albumin levels wereassessed using autoanalyzer.Results: Mean age of the patients of the hypertensive andnon-hypertensive group was 59.6 years and 63.2 yearsrespectively. Mean serum albumin levels among the patients ofhypertensive and non-hypertensive group was 3.39 gm/dL and3.68 gm/dL respectively.
