Overview

The incidence of acute tubular necrosis is approximately 88 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.^[1]
- The incidence of acute tubular necrosis due to renal ischemia is approximately 12.7 cases per 100,000 individuals.^[2]
- The incidence of acute tubular necrosis due to sepsis is approximately 24.7 cases per 100,000 individuals.
- The incidence of acute tubular necrosis due to rhabdomyolysis and nephrotoxic medications is approximately 10.7 cases and 7.3 cases per 100,000 individuals.

The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.

In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
[Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
[Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
[Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].

There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
[Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].

[Disease name] affects men and women equally.
[Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.

[Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
