Acute Renal Iinsufficiency

Creatinine >250 mmol or a Rise >100 mmol from baseline over 24 hours
a patient is not on chronic hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
I don't think that just having a creatinine of >250 should automatically mean ARI. This could be the patient's baseline and therefore is a chronic issue. My opinion is to only use the rule of >100 mmol over baseline over 24 hours for acute renal insufficiency (without dialysis), or use ATN if this is documented. --LKolesar 07:13, 2014 October 8 (CDT)

There are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses, centralized info about them is in Renal Coding Considerations.
