ESRD vs Acute renal failure

• Do NOT code both
  • Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5 AND
  • Any of the acute renal failure diagnoses:

	Has ICD10Code
Kidney, acute tubular necrosis (ATN)	N17.0
Kidney, acute renal failure NOS	N17.9
Kidney, renal failure/insufficiency/uremia, unspecified as acute or chronic	N19
Kidney, acute renal failure, postprocedural	N99.0

• This is true even if the person with the Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5 is not yet on dialysis, as that code includes GFR<15 mL/min even if not on dialysis yet.

• But it IS possible to code both one of the Acute Renal Failure/AKI codes AND one of the "lesser" CRF codes, e.g. Stages 1-4.
