+* A patient who has been receiving outpatient dialysis treatments '''recently''' prior to hospitalization is considered to be in CRF.
+* A patient who is '''not currently''' in a dialysis treatment program should '''not''' be considered to be in CRF.
+* A patient with an intact kidney transplant who is not being dialyzed should '''not''' be coded as CRF
+See '''[[Renal Coding Considerations (old)]] and [[ICD10 Guideline for Renal Coding]]''' because there are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses.
