== Additional Info ==
*This is a specific '''cause''' of acute (or occasionally subacute) renal disorder/insufficiency. 
*The usual marker for this entity is elevated serum urea and/or elevated serum creatinine PLUS an elevated urea:creatinine ratio.  The normal value of this ratio (in the units used here) is 44, so a ratio > 66 is suggestive of a pre-renal state.  While pre-renal patients are usually intravascularly depleted, this is not universally the case; any situation in which renal perfusion is reduced can give a pre-renal state, even without volume depletion.  An example is bilateral renal artery stenosis.  
*If the patient qualifies, one could/should also code '''[[Kidney, acute renal failure NOS]]'''
*Do not use this code if the patient has a '''pre-existing''' diagnosis of: '''[[Chronic kidney disease (end-stage renal/kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5, GFR LT 15]]'''
