Acute Renal Iinsufficiency
Guideline
- Creatinine >250 mmol or a Rise >100 mmol from baseline over 24 hours
- a patient is not on chronic hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
- I don't think that just having a creatinine of >250 should automatically mean ARI. This could be the patient's baseline and therefore is a chronic issue. My opinion is to only use the rule of >100 mmol over baseline over 24 hours for acute renal insufficiency (without dialysis), or use ATN if this is documented. --LKolesar 07:13, 2014 October 8 (CDT)
- Are we to change what we have being doing for over 10 years ?--PStein 09:54, 2014 October 15 (CDT)
- I am just putting my opinion here, if any changes are done they will have to go through the task group first.--LKolesar 11:28, 2014 October 15 (CDT)
- I always check what the pts baseline creatinine was prior to admission if the pt had chronic renal insuffiency and creatinine was 250 last admission I will code as mod CRI if the present creatinine was say 350 I will code acute RI in admits and CRI in comorbids ( acute on chronic )If the creat was the same as last admission say 250 and pt has CRI I only code in comorbids because it is not acute.-Shirley Kiesman
- This is what I do also. This makes sense to me, not arbitrarily putting a value of >250 as acute renal insufficiency.--LKolesar 17:29, 2014 October 15 (CDT)
- remove the 250 value from the definition. ~~Judy Kublick oct 16, 2014
