Note: Information on this page applies to the APACHE II ARF dropdown only; for the diagnosis code of Acute Renal Failure see ARF (Diagnosis)
Coding Guideline
For critical care only: The ARF (Acute Renal Failure) dropdown for APACHE defaults to "enter"; you won't be able to send unless you change it to one of the following:
Choose "yes" if the following conditions are met:
- patient is in ICU/Critical Care
- for 8 hrs consecutively in the first 24 hrs of admission:
- creatinine > 133 mmols and
- urine output < 135 cc
Choose "no" if the pt
- has CRF in comorbids
- doesn't have CRF
Data Use
ARF is one component used to generate the APACHE II score.
Specifically, double points are assigned for the Creatinine score if the patient has ARF . (see APACHE_Scoring_table#Physiological_Variables)
