Additional Info
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a medical condition involving the death of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys. ATN presents with acute kidney injury (AKI) and is one of the most common causes of AKI. Common causes of ATN include low blood pressure and use of nephrotoxic drugs.
ESRD vs Acute Renal Failure
- AND
- UNLESS the patient has had a renal transplant and the transplanted kidney was functioning (and thus can experience acute renal failure)
About "Acute on Chronic renal failure"
- Our definition for CRF includes two things, as above. If you are on dialysis then it is technically not possible to also have acute renal failure. And while our threshold of creatinine clearance < 15 ml/min USUALLY gets people on dialysis, that's not always the case. In other words, there are some people who don't need to start dialysis until their clearance is <10 or even 8 ml/min. THOSE people who by our definition have Stage 5 CKD cannot have ARF but rather this is considered a progression of their underlying disease. Instead of coding ARF, code the reason for dialysis ie. Fluid overload, Hyperkalemia, severe or symptomatic etc combined with Chronic kidney disease (end-stage renal/kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5, GFR LT 15
- And of course, if you previously had Stage 5, were on dialysis, then got a successful renal transplant, then you CAN get acute renal failure in your graft.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Renal failure codes: |
- Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency, uremia) Stage 1
- Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 2
- Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 3
- Chronic kidney disease (uremia, chronic renal insufficiency) Stage 4
- Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5
- Hemoglobinuria
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Also code the cause, if known.
Data Integrity Checks
There are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses, centralized info about them is in Renal Coding Considerations for ICD10.
