Viggo Elsworth: Acute kidney injury

ENC-00079 · 75F · Hospital Medicine · admitted Sat Oct 31, 2026 01:16 PM · discharged Fri Nov 06, 2026 04:29 PM · attending Dr. Odette Galloway · resident Dr. Camila Oyelaran

Clinical judgement required Clinical judgement required Open

Clinical judgement required: AKI criteria met only against a presumed baseline (no pre-admission creatinine on file).

Documented vs supported

Documented: “acute renal insufficiency” · N28.9 Disorder of kidney and ureter, unspecified (renal insufficiency)
Criteria support: no conclusion: clinical judgement required
Outcome: AKI criteria met only against a presumed baseline (no pre-admission creatinine on file)
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)

Clinical judgement required. The rule does not conclude here. A CDI specialist may send an open query or dismiss the finding; nothing is proposed as fact.

Effect if the clinician agrees (illustrative)

Change: no projected change (clinician judgement)
Secondary-diagnosis level: 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, E46, N28.9, E87.1, D64.9
Codes after: J18.9, E46, N28.9, E87.1, D64.9

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 194 → 193 (RW +0.5085).

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.

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.
