Q&A: Reporting acute renal insufficiency due to dehydration in ICD-10-CM. ICD-10-CM code N28.9 is reported to capture the acute renal insufficiency. Based on your documentation, acute kidney injury/failure (N17.9) cannot be assigned. However, based on the clinical indicators documented, a query should be submitted to the provider to specify if...

Acute renal failure in patients with congestive heart failure occurs because of decreased renal blood flow. This decrease is due to hypovolemia from overdiuresis or hypervolemia that causes elevated filling pressures of the left ventricle and leads to decreased cardiac output.
Acute kidney failure, unspecified N17. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N17. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD 10 features multiple codes for renal failure as compared to ICD 9. The order of listing in ICD 10 is as follows: N00-N99 Diseases of the genitourinary system › N17-N19 Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease. It is important to note that ICD 10 distinguishes between acute renal insufficiency and acute kidney injury/acute renal failure. There are additional codes to specify traumatic and non-traumatic kidney injury. Acute kidney disease and acute renal insufficiency cannot be reported as acute renal failure.
Clotting in the blood vessels within the kidney due to conditions like idiopathic thrombocytopenic thrombotic purpura (ITTP), malignant hypertension, hemolytic uremic syndrome, transfusion reaction, and scleroderma can also lead to acute renal failure.
A problem that affects over twenty six million Americans, CKD (Chronic kidney disease) if not treated in time can lead to acute kidney injury or acute renal failure. Your kidney filters excess fluids, salt and waste from your blood.
Causes of CKD. The leading cause of CKD is diabetes. However, there are a number of factors that can lead to acute renal failure. Reduced blood flow to your kidneys due to conditions like low blood pressure, dehydration, burns, injury, hemorrhage, serious illness, septic shock and surgery can cause damage leading to acute renal failure.
The loss of the filtering ability of your kidney, leads to accumulation of waste material and electrolytes in your body, eventually leading to acute renal failure which can be life threatening. However, proper and timely treatment can reverse the damage and help you recover from the problem.
Acute renal failure is usually associated with oliguria or anuria, hyperkalemia, and pulmonary edema.
But with the help of healthcare providers, family and friends, most people with kidney failure can lead full and active lives. Inability of a kidney to excrete metabolites at normal plasma levels under conditions of normal loading or inability to retain electrolytes under conditions of normal intake.
Chronic renal failure develops over many years, may be caused by conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and cannot be cured. Chronic renal failure may lead to total and long-lasting renal failure, called end-stage renal disease (esrd).
Acute renal/kidney failure or injury is a sudden, severe onset of inadequate kidney function. There are many causes of acute renal/kidney failure/injury, however, when due to dehydration, it is because there is decreased renal blood flow from lower blood pressure because of the dehydration. This starts causing functioning problems with the kidney.
Symptoms include oliguria, edema resulting from salt and water overload, nausea and vomiting, lethargy from the toxic effects of the waste products building up, hydronephrosis and at times metabolic acidosis. BUN and creatinine will be significantly elevated.
The coder should not be shy about escalating a case to CDI or a physician adviser if either diagnosis does not seem to be clinically validated, as this is part of a coder’s responsibility. As can be seen in the DRGs above, choosing one of these diagnoses over the other as PDX can impact reimbursement.
BUN and creatinine will be significantly elevated. There are several types of criteria for acute kidney failure/injury and some hospitals compile their own. Some well known clinical criteria for validating this diagnosis are: RIFLE (Risk of renal dysfunction, Injury to kidney, Failure or Loss of kidney function,
This is caused by infarction involving the medulla and referred to as necrotizing papillitis. N17.8—Other acute kidney failure.
ATN occurs when there is damage to the kidney tubule cells. These are the cells that reabsorb fluid and minerals in the kidney from urine as it is forming. When this occurs, there is a lack of oxygen reaching the cells of your kidneys. N17.1—Acute kidney failure with acute cortical necrosis.
