Marisol Thorne: Chronic kidney disease

ENC-00042 · 84F · Hospital Medicine · admitted Sat Oct 31, 2026 12:25 PM · discharged Wed Nov 04, 2026 01:08 PM · attending Dr. Gideon Zeller · resident Dr. Elena Nakashima

Specificity gap Criteria met Open

Documented “chronic kidney disease” (N18.9); criteria support the more specific Chronic kidney disease stage 3b (N18.32).

Documented vs supported

Documented
“chronic kidney disease” · N18.9 Chronic kidney disease, unspecified
Criteria support
Chronic kidney disease stage 3b · N18.32 Chronic kidney disease, stage 3b
Outcome
Two eGFR values >=90 days apart, both below 60; staging value 34.4 (G3b)
Rule
Chronic kidney disease stage (eGFR, CKD-EPI 2021) v2026.11-1
Published source
KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease (2024), Chapter 1, Table 1 (definition: abnormality for a minimum of 3 months) and Table 2 (GFR categories) · source (checked 2026-11-14)

Effect if the clinician agrees (illustrative)

Change
N18.9 -> N18.32
Secondary-diagnosis level
non-CC → non-CC
MS-DRG (illustrative)
194 Simple pneumonia and pleurisy with CC → 194 Simple pneumonia and pleurisy with CC
Relative weight
0.8059 → 0.8059 (+0.0000)
Codes before
J18.9, N18.9, E87.1
Codes after
J18.9, E87.1, N18.32

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 194 → 194 (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.

0.0 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.
