Overview
The incidence less severe AKI is approximately 200-300 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of acute kidney injury is approximately 400-500 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Patients of all age groups may develop AKI. The incidence of AKI increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 76 years. AKI affects men and women equally.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence less severe AKI is approximately 200-300 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- The incidence AKI treated with renal replacement therapy is approximately 20 to 30 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- Ali et al reported a high incidence of 1811 cases of AKI per 1000,000 population during 2003.[2]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of acute kidney injury is approximately 400-500 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- In 2005, the mortality among patients with severe AKI requiring renal replacement therapy was 60.3%.
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop AKI.
- The incidence of AKI increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 76 years.
- Chronic renal failure is usually first diagnosed among patients with 80 years old.
Race
- AKI usually affects individuals of the African America race. Caucasians individuals are less likely to develop AKI.[3]
Gender
- AKI affects men and women equally.[4]
