How do you code chronic renal failure?
Stage two: Stage two kidney disease is typically marked by GFR 60-89ml/min/1.73m2 and mildly decreased kidney function. For people with stage 2 kidney disease, there is no obvious increase of their serum creatinine level and it is usually lower than 177 umol/L.
N18.5 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Chronic kidney disease, stage 5 . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 . ICD-10 code N18.5 is based on the following Tabular structure:
ICD-10 Code for Chronic kidney disease, unspecified- N18. 9- Codify by AAPC.
N18. 31- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3a. N18. 32- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3b.

Patient information – CKD G1 and G2 CKD stage G1 is kidney disease with normal renal function. Patients with CKD stage G2 have mild impairment of kidney function. Most patients with CKD stages G1 and G2 just need occasional testing to ensure things are stable.
Stage 2: Mild impairment; GFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2 with other evidence of chronic kidney damage. Stage 3: Moderate impairment; GFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. Stage 3 CKD should be split into two subcategories defined by (2): GFR 45-59 ml/min/1.73 m2 (stage 3A) GFR 30-44 ml/min/1.73 m2 (stage 3B)

ICD-10 code: N18. 5 Chronic kidney disease, stage 5.
Coding CKD. Documenting the stage of CKD—not the GFR—is vital for accurate coding. If the stage is not documented, then code 585.9, Chronic kidney disease, is assigned. If a provider documents both a stage of CKD and ESRD, then only the code for ESRD (585.6) is assigned.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E11.22 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Hypertension concurrent and due to end stage renal disease on dialysis due to type 2 diabetes mellitus
Please note: when coding DM with CKD of unspecified stage, there is an instructional note in the ICD-10-CM Index that stats “Use additional code to identify stage of chronic kidney disease (N18.1-N18.6).” Code N18.9 is not included in this range of codes and provides no further specificity. In this case, only E11.22 would be needed for DM with CKD of unspecified stage. It would not be appropriate to report N18.9 as an additional code based on the instructional note in the index. When hypertension and CKD are documented, the unspecified stage CKD (N18.9) would be reported since the index does include this code in the range listed. Please follow the instructional notes in the ICD-10-CM Index.
Treatment is planning for end-stage renal failure by creating access site for dialysis and obtaining assessment for possible future transplant. ICD-10-CM code N18.4 (CKD stage 4) is used to report this stage.
Treatment for this stage is observation, blood pressure control and identifying the cause to try and reverse it. ICD-10-CM code N18.1 (CKD stage 1) is used to report this stage.
CKD occurs when a disease/condition impairs kidney function causing damage to the kidney.
The function of your kidney is to filter waste and excess fluids from your blood and excrete into the urine. In patients with CKD, the waste and excess fluids can build up in the body. In the early stages of CKD, there may be few signs and symptoms and oftentimes is not known until there is significant damage to the kidney function.
Chronic kidney disease, stage 3b 1 N18.32 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 ICD-10-CM N18.32 is a new 2021 ICD-10-CM code that became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N18.32 - other international versions of ICD-10 N18.32 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N18.32 became effective on October 1, 2021.
