Acute Renal Insufficiency
Guideline
- A Rise >100 mmol from baseline over 24 hours'
- a patient is not on chronic hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
- If the prior Creatinine level is unknown use > 250 as a guideline to code ARI.
- check what the pts baseline creatinine was prior to admission. If creatinine was 250 last admission code as ARI if the present creatinine was 350 or more.
- I think you must mean "was > or < 250", not exactly, which is it? Please fix above and then remove this commentTtenbergen 10:43, 2016 March 31 (CDT)
- In the pt's history if pt has been running high creatinine levels remember to code Renal Insufficiency-moderate (Cr greater than 240) or Renal insufficiency-mild (creatinine 160-240 mmol) in the comorbid section according to the guideline (Mild or Mod)
