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

This code includes the following conditions that don't have separate ICD10 codes:

• Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
• acute renal insufficiency (ARI)
• Do not use this code if the AKI is postoperative or postprocedural

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 tubular necrosis (ATN)
• Kidney, acute renal failure, postprocedural
• 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.
