Data Sheet 1_Inflammatory markers associated with albuminuria and early atherosclerosis in

362 subjects with type 2 diabetes and moderate chronic kidney disease were included in a cross-sectional study. The data, authored by Ainhoa González-Luis and last updated in March 2026, includes measurements of serum inflammatory markers, leukocyte gene expression, and subclinical atherosclerosis indicators.

Use Cases

• Correlate urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) based on the reported correlation coefficients.
• Analyze associations between albuminuria and specific inflammatory markers (e.g., IL6, IL1β, TNF, TLR2) based on the described results.
• Perform mediation analysis to explore inflammatory pathways linking albuminuria to subclinical atherosclerosis based on the study's exploratory findings.

Strengths

• Includes data from 362 subjects, a defined cohort size.
• Measures multiple inflammatory markers in both serum and leukocytes.
• Defines subclinical atherosclerosis using two specific clinical measures (CIMT and ABI).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The cross-sectional design limits causal inference, as noted in the description.
