== Additional Info ==
*Do not use this code if the patient has a '''pre-existing''' diagnosis of: '''[[Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5]]'''
*In ICD10 there is not a separate code for "acute renal insufficiency".  '''This code includes that designation'''.
*This code also includes the designation of '''Acute Kidney Injury''' (AKI).
*The "KDIGO" guidelines identify that this is present if any one or more of the following are true:
**Increase in serum creatinine by 26 micromoles/L or more within 48 hours
**Increase in serum creatinine to 1.5 times baseline or more within the last 7 days 
**Urine output less than 0.5 mL/kg/hour for 6 hours



== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==
*[[Kidney, acute renal failure NOS]]
*[[Kidney, acute tubular necrosis (ATN)]]
*[[Prerenal uremia/state]]
*[[Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 1]]
*[[Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 2]]
*[[Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 3]]
*[[Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 4]]
*[[Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5]]


== Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] ==
*Also code the cause, if known.


== {{Data Integrity Checks}} ==
There are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses, centralized info about them is in '''[[Renal Coding Considerations for ICD10]]'''.
