The markers that stood out were mean albumin (g/dL) (4.15±0.47 vs 3.97±0.5, p 0.025), creatinine (mg/dL) (7.74 ± 2.31 vs 6.8 ± 2.42 p = 0.013), vitamin D (ng/mL) (43.56 ± 21.04 vs 35.08 ± 18.24, p = 0.026) levels, which were significantly higher in patients with hypertension whereas mean age and eGFR were significantly lower in patients with hypertension compared to diabetes (p <0.05) (Table 3). Here, ALB is linked to diabetes mellitus.
