The low level of albumin serum is an important predictor of the morbidity and mortality, as a low albumin level is indicating the weak immunity and vitality in kidney failure patients. This is caused by an increase on inflammation and deficiency of protein intake. The low level of albumin serum is also a major indicator which can be used to show a person\u27s kidney function. Hypoalbuminemia occurred if blood albumin level is less than 3,5 g/dL. Research objective: To find out the description of albumin serum level on non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients. Research method: Cross sectional descriptive, to obtain the data of albumin serum on non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients carried out on December 2015 – January 2016 at two hospitals, which are RSUP. Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado and Rumah Sakit Advent Manado.

Result: According to the laboratory result, from the 35 patients diagnosed with a stage five non dialysis chronic kidney disease, 16 patients are having a decrease on albumin serum (45.7%), and 19 patients are having a normal albumin level (54.4%). None of the samples are having an increase on albumin level. Conclusion: From the research it can be concluded that there are more patients with normal albumin level which is 29 people (54.5%) compared to the patients with hypoalbuminemia which is 16 people (45.7%), with male having a higher tendency of prevalence compared to female on each category of albumin serum checkup
