What is the difference between ICD-9 and ICD-10?
Why ICD-10 codes are important
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.
The most common code reported for the diagnosis of AKI is N17. 9 (Acute kidney failure, unspecified).
Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days.
It classified AKI into three categories (risk, injury, and failure) according to the status of serum creatinine (SCr) and urine output (UO) (Table 1).

If the AKI has progressed to acute tubular necrosis (ATN), assign code N17. ... 1-Acute kidney failure with acute cortical necrosis. ... 2-Acute kidney failure with medullary necrosis N17. ... 8-Other acute kidney failure. ... 9-Acute kidney failure, unspecified.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs when the kidneys suddenly fail due to an injury, medication, or illness. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the gradual loss of kidney function mainly caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, and an inflammatory condition known as glomerulonephritis.
Acute kidney failure — also called acute renal failure or acute kidney injury — develops rapidly, usually in less than a few days. Acute kidney failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, particularly in critically ill people who need intensive care.

On one hand, they may present manifestations of the underlying disease (e.g. heart failure, sepsis, systemic vasculitis, thrombotic microangiopathy). If renal function is truly affected the typical course of AKI includes 4 stages: (I) initiation, (II) oligo-anuria, (III) polyuria, and (IV) restitution.
Underlying CKD is now recognized as a clear risk factor for AKI, as both decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and increased proteinuria have each been shown to be strongly associated with AKI. A growing body of literature also provides evidence that AKI accelerates the progression of CKD.

You are right NOT to use 866.00. That is a trama injury to the kidney. I think your physician might mean ARF (Acute Renal Failure, 584.9). If a patient's creatinine is elevated because of other health complications, it might be ARF.
