Checks

Has #Dialysis requiring Dxs but no #Dialysis TISS Items

If meets following the entry is an error:

• ICU patient
• LOS>3
• at least one #Dialysis requiring Dxs
• doesn't have any #Dialysis TISS Items

Has #Dialysis TISS Items but no #Dialysis qualifying Dxs

If meets following the entry is an error:

• at least one of #Dialysis TISS Items
• doesn't have one #Dialysis qualifying Dxs

Reality check

AG REPLY -- This is challenging since not everyone with either ARF or CRF gets dialysis AND not everybody who gets dialysis has renal failure -- e.g. dialysis is also occasionally used for drug overdoses, volume overload, and a very few other things.
