ESRD vs Acute renal failure

• Do NOT code both
  • Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5 AND
  • Any of the acute renal failure diagnoses, even if the person with the Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5 is not yet on dialysis, as that code includes GFR<15 mL/min even if not on dialysis yet.

	Has ICD10Code
Kidney, acute tubular necrosis (ATN)	N17.0
Kidney, acute renal failure NOS	N17.9
Kidney, renal failure/insufficiency/uremia, unspecified as acute or chronic	N19
Kidney, acute renal failure, postprocedural	N99.0

• But it IS possible to code both one of the Acute Renal Failure/AKI codes AND one of the "lesser" CRF codes:
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 1
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 2
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 3
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 4
