Acute Renal Failure
Guideline
- newly dialyzed - which means new dialysis started during this hospital admission for a patient that was not on out patient dialysis prior to current hospital admission.
- Patient does not have CRF - Chronic Renal Failure
- The ARF diagnosis only applies if patients actually receive dialysis or CRRT at that location. If a pt does not receive dialysis you can code ARI or ATN instead. See Renal Coding Considerations
