Template:Discussion Hi collectors, I see we have discrepancy for renal insufficiency definition that have been there a long time.

• Renal Insufficiency:
• Comorbid
  • Renal insufficiency-mild -creat 160-240
  • Renal insufficiency-moderate - creat >=241
• Admit or complication
  • ARI there is a different range - creatinine rise of >250 mmol OR a rise of >100 mmol from baseline over 24 hrs. No dialysis or no history of CRF. This is in the code book but not on the Wiki. (code books OLD so folks should not use).

Question

• What criteria do you follow to code renal insufficiency as an admit or acquired DX?
  • Seems to me that the criteria are clear for comorbids, and clear for diagnoses. I can not see any ambiguity unless people want to compare criteria for two different things. Am I missing something? What is the discrepancy? Ttenbergen 10:06, 2014 October 9 (CDT)
