At the Mubarak Al-Kabeer University Hospital of Kuwait (Arabian Gulf), 77 episodes of acute renal failure were collected prospectively over 2 years, yielding a mean annual incidence rate of 9.5/100,000 population. Forty-four episodes occurred in hospital, a rate of 1.3 per 1000 admissions. In this group, acute tubular necrosis was the commonest cause (27 episodes). Thirty-three episodes occurred in the community, acute tubular necrosis accounting for 11 episodes. In contrast to hospital-acquired renal failure there was a tendency for increased incidence of community-acquired renal failure in the summer months. A more striking observation was the lower mortality in the community-acquired form. The mortality was not related to severity of renal failure even within the group with acute tubular necrosis.
在科威特（阿拉伯湾）的穆巴拉克·卡比尔大学医院，在两年时间里前瞻性收集了77例急性肾衰竭病例，年平均发病率为9.5/10万人口。44例发生在医院，每1000例入院患者中有1.3例。在这组病例中，急性肾小管坏死是最常见的病因（27例）。33例发生在社区，急性肾小管坏死占11例。与医院获得性肾衰竭不同，社区获得性肾衰竭在夏季有发病率增加的趋势。一个更显著的观察结果是社区获得性形式的死亡率较低。即使在急性肾小管坏死组中，死亡率也与肾衰竭的严重程度无关。
