Additional Info

  • Do not use this code if the patient has a pre-existing diagnosis of: Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5
  • In ICD10 there is not a separate code for "acute renal insufficiency". This code includes that designation.
  • This code also includes the designation of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).
  • The "KDIGO" guidelines identify that this is present if any one or more of the following are true:
    • Increase in serum creatinine by 26 micromoles/L or more within 48 hours
    • Increase in serum creatinine to 1.5 times baseline or more within the last 7 days
    • Urine output less than 0.5 mL/kg/hour for 6 hours


Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition


  • Also code the cause, if known.


There are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses, centralized info about them is in Renal Coding Considerations.
