Additional Info
- This is a specific cause of acute (or occasionally subacute) renal disorder/insufficiency.
- The usual marker for this entity is elevated serum urea and/or elevated serum creatinine PLUS an elevated urea:creatinine ratio. The normal value of this ratio (in the units used here) is 44, so a ratio > 66 is suggestive of a pre-renal state. While pre-renal patients are usually intravascularly depleted, this is not universally the case; any situation in which renal perfusion is reduced can give a pre-renal state, even without volume depletion. An example is bilateral renal artery stenosis.
- If the patient qualifies, one could/should also code Kidney, acute renal failure NOS
- Do not use this code if the patient has a pre-existing diagnosis of: Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5
