dc.description.abstractThe present study needs to assess the plasma levels of calcium, creatinine and blood glucose among hypertensive patients in Edo State, Nigeria in order to ascertain whether plasma levels of these parameters are associated with hypertension in this population which will provide improved insight on proper management of hypertensive conditions. Several hereditary and lifestyle factors, including nutrition, influence blood pressure. In this regard, sodium is an important mineral that, in addition to its functions in fluid balance, action potential generation, digestive secretions, and nutrient absorption, also plays a key role in blood pressure regulation, with lower sodium intake linked to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. patients compared with their non-hypertensive counterparts. This could be as a result of an overactive parathyroid gland leading to excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone and the attendant increase in plasma calcium level. Regular screening for the plasma level of calcium, creatinine and blood glucose should be considered as routine tests for hypertensive patients. Adequate awareness of the risk of ignoring these parameters in hypertensive patients should be ensured.en_US
