Overview

Incidence of acute tubular necrosis is approximately 88 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The mean age at diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis was 59.5 years. Mortality rate is high with acute tubular necrosis among hospitalized and ICU patients. Acute tubular necrosis affects men and women equally.
