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 no history of CRF. This is in the code book but not on the Wiki. (code books OLD so folks should not use).

Question

• 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.
  • If I know the patient's baseline, I use the rise of >100 mmol from baseline over 24 hours. If I cannot find a baseline, then having a high Creatinine without receiving hemodialysis probably would be Acute renal insufficiency, but how high the creatinine needs to be to be considered ARI should be dealt with at the task group meeting. (this is just a concern when you do not know the patient's baseline). --LKolesar 07:10, 2015 April 13 (CDT)
