Acute Renal Insufficiency
Guideline
- A Rise >100 mmol from baseline over 24 hours'
- a patient is not on chronic hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
- If the prior Creatinine level is unknown use > 250 as a guideline to code ARI.
- check what the pts baseline per doctors note creatinine was prior to admission. If creatinine was > or equal to 250 last admission code as ARI if the present creatinine was 350 or more.
