Criteria support Chronic kidney disease stage 4 (N18.4); no corresponding diagnosis is documented.

Documented vs supported

Criteria support
Chronic kidney disease stage 4 · N18.4 Chronic kidney disease, stage 4 (severe)
Outcome
Two eGFR values >=90 days apart; staging value 25.2 (G4)
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)

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 871 → 871 (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.
