Introduction: Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common morbidity in normal term healthy newborn. There is evidence that cord blood albumin (CBA) level can act as a potential marker for the prediction of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. The present study was therefore designed to establish a correlation between the level of cord blood albumin (CBA) and total serum bilirubin (TSB) so that albumin level could be standardized as a prediction marker for the neonatal hyperbilirubinemia
