ALB and neoplasm: This dataset was derived from human kidney biopsy samples from the unaffected portion of tumor nephrectomies categorized into normal kidney function; control, early DN (estimated glomerular filtration rate >90 ml/min/1.73 m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio <300 mg/g), and advanced DN (estimated glomerular filtration rate <90 ml/min/1.73 m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >300 mg/g) (Fan et al., 2019).
