• In ICD10, code patients who missed their dialysis tx and are admitted to ICU for urgent HD in the following way:
  • Chronic kidney disease (end-stage renal/kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5, GFR LT 15 in comorbs.
  • Renal dialysis care, including dialysis itself in comorbs.
  • HD (Hemodialysis) from CCI picklist, as acquired, if they were dialyzed in your unit.
  • Medical noncompliance in admit codes.
  • Any other diagnosis that resulted in the ICU admission, in admit codes. Ex. Hyperkalemia, CHF, etc.

• If they are merely borrowing the ICU space to dialyze a patient, they should not be entered into our database.
• If the patient is admitted under the care of the ICU Attending, then they should be entered into our database as an ICU admission.
  • This is what the ICU program has advised.--TOstryzniuk 14:54, 27 April 2011 (CDT)
• Don't use this code for patients admitted for acute problem.Code them as whatever the reason they came.ie CHF,Hyperkalemia etc.
