ESRD vs Acute renal failure

• Do NOT code both
  • Chronic kidney disease (end-stage renal/kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5, GFR LT 15

AND

• Any of the acute renal failure diagnoses (Kidney, acute tubular necrosis (ATN), Kidney, acute renal failure NOS, Kidney, renal failure/insufficiency/uremia, unspecified as acute or chronic, Kidney, acute renal failure, postprocedural)

• UNLESS the patient has had a renal transplant and the transplanted kidney was functioning (and thus can experience acute renal failure)

• 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, GFR GT 90
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 2, GFR 60-89
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 3, GFR 30-59
  • Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 4, GFR 15-29
