Vera Fairbanks: Acute kidney injury

ENC-00069 · 49F · Cardiology · admitted Mon Nov 02, 2026 09:38 PM · discharged Mon Nov 09, 2026 10:28 AM · attending Dr. Isaac Abernath

Specificity gap Criteria met Open

Documented “acute renal insufficiency” (N28.9); criteria support the more specific Acute kidney injury (KDIGO stage 1) (N17.9).

Documented vs supported

Documented: “acute renal insufficiency” · N28.9 Disorder of kidney and ureter, unspecified (renal insufficiency)
Criteria support: Acute kidney injury (KDIGO stage 1) · N17.9 Acute kidney failure, unspecified
Outcome: AKI criteria met, KDIGO stage 1
Note: ICD-10-CM does not code the KDIGO stage; the stage is shown so the clinician can document it.
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: N28.9 -> N17.9
Secondary-diagnosis level: non-CC → CC
MS-DRG (illustrative): 293 Heart failure and shock without CC/MCC → 292 Heart failure and shock with CC
Relative weight: 0.5660 → 0.8490 (+0.2830)
Codes before: I50.9, N28.9, E11.9, E78.5
Codes after: I50.9, E11.9, E78.5, N17.9

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 293 → 292 (RW +0.2830).

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.
