Amara Whitlock: Acute kidney injury

ENC-00002 · 68F · Cardiology · admitted Wed Oct 28, 2026 07:50 PM · discharged Thu Nov 05, 2026 02:50 PM · attending Dr. Wes Merriweather · resident Dr. Noor Halvorsen

Clinical validation gap Criteria not met Open

Documented “acute kidney injury” (N17.9) but the criteria are not met: KDIGO creatinine and urine-output criteria not met.

Documented vs supported

Documented: “acute kidney injury” · N17.9 Acute kidney failure, unspecified
Criteria support: criteria not met
Outcome: KDIGO creatinine and urine-output criteria not met
Rule: Acute kidney injury (KDIGO staging) v2026.11-1
Published source: KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury (Kidney Int Suppl 2012;2:19-36) (2012), Recommendations 2.1.1 (definition) and 2.1.2 (staging), Table 2 · source (checked 2026-11-14)

Effect if the clinician agrees (illustrative)

Change: remove N17.9
Secondary-diagnosis level: CC → removed
MS-DRG (illustrative): 292 Heart failure and shock with CC → 292 Heart failure and shock with CC
Relative weight: 0.8490 → 0.8490 (+0.0000)
Codes before: I50.9, E46, N18.4, N17.9, E87.1
Codes after: I50.9, E46, N18.4, E87.1

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 292 → 292 (RW +0.0000). The grouping does not change; the record becomes accurate.

CC/MCC status, CC exclusions (subset) and relative weights from the public CMS FY2026 IPPS final rule tables (5, 6I, 6J, 6K). This is not a grouper and not a payment estimate. Queries never mention any of this.

Severity documentation index change SIMULATED

-0.5 points

SIMULATED: Illustrative severity weights (MCC = 1.0, CC = 0.5, non-CC = 0) summed over secondary diagnoses; not a validated risk-adjustment model and not a measured effect.

DOCUMENTATION QUERY (draft)
Title: Clarification request: kidney function documentation
Encounter: ENC-00002   Patient: Amara Whitlock   To: Dr. Wes Merriweather

Clinical indicators from the health record:
- Documented in the record: "acute kidney injury" [Progress note DOC-000006]
- creatinine 2.21 mg/dL (pre-admission) (2026-09-07 10:05) [lab LAB-000026]
- creatinine 2.34 mg/dL (peak this stay) (2026-10-28 20:50) [lab LAB-000027]
- creatinine 2.17 (2026-10-29 05:00) [lab LAB-000028]
- creatinine 2.25 (2026-10-31 05:00) [lab LAB-000030]

Question:
The indicators above are documented in this encounter. Could you clarify the status of the documented kidney diagnosis?

Response options (select one or write your own):
( ) Acute kidney injury: confirmed (please document the supporting clinical information)
( ) Acute kidney injury: ruled out
( ) Other explanation of the clinical findings (please specify): ____________
( ) Unable to determine

Please respond based on your independent clinical judgement. Any response, including "unable to determine", is acceptable. This query and your response are kept as part of the health record.

Other findings on this encounter

Heart failure · Specificity gap Documented “congestive heart failure” (I50.9); criteria support the more specific Acute on chronic systolic (HFrEF) heart failure (I50.23).
Hyponatraemia · Clinical judgement required Clinical judgement required: Low sodium without documented treatment or repeat values; clinical significance is a clinician judgement.
Malnutrition · Clinical judgement required Clinical judgement required: Only one consensus characteristic documented; two are required.
