{{discussion}} I double checked with our lab values, and it looks like our EPR results are measured in micromoles/L. Using the guidelines listed above, that would mean that any patient who has a rise in creatinine over a 2 day period equal or greater to 26, would be coded as "acute renal failure NOS". For example, a patient whose creatinine rises from 120 to 150 within 48 hours, would receive this code. I feel like I am reading these instructions wrong, because this would mean a large number of patients would fall into this category.[[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 14:01, 2018 October 16 (CDT) | |||
