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 (creatinine 160-240 mmol)
  • Renal Insufficiency-moderate (Cr greater than 240)
• 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
• N history of CRF
  • if patient required acute dialysis, it is not due to renal insufficiency - please see ARF
  • This is in the code book but not on the Wiki. (code books OLD so folks should not use).

Question

• IC10 is coming to a laptop near you soon, so we hope this will clean this problem up.

• 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)

• I see no discrepancy. The definitions are clear to me. thanks Judy K. Apr 1, 2015.

• I don't see that there is a discrepancy either. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems clear to ME. --mvpenner 13:54, 2015 April 13 (CDT)

• I wonder if this was about the admit/acquired using different cut-off than the comorbid. Does anyone thing this could cause collection errors? Or do you think this was about something else? Ttenbergen 15:14, 2015 April 15 (CDT)
• Everyone has a baseline Cr so I think most people use the second criteria (>100 over baseline in 24 hours). Maybe the >250 rule should be the same as the lower limit of renal insufficiency (>160) instead if you want it that way. Laura
  • I thought that we were waiting for ICD-10 before making changes to ARI or pretty much any renal questions because they will be handled differently. Con
