Nadia Greaves: Hyponatraemia

ENC-00162 · 65M · Hospital Medicine · admitted Mon Oct 26, 2026 09:04 AM · discharged Tue Nov 03, 2026 03:26 PM · attending Dr. Isaac Abernath · resident Dr. Noor Halvorsen

Specificity gap Criteria met Open

Criteria support Hyponatraemia (mild) (E87.1); no corresponding diagnosis is documented.

Documented vs supported

Documented: not documented
Criteria support: Hyponatraemia (mild) · E87.1 Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia
Outcome: Sodium below 135 on 5 values (lowest 130, mild) with treatment ordered
Rule: Hyponatraemia v2026.11-1
Published source: Clinical practice guideline on diagnosis and treatment of hyponatraemia (Spasovski et al., Eur J Endocrinol 2014;170:G1-G47) (2014), Classification by biochemical severity: mild 130-135, moderate 125-129, profound <125 mmol/L · source (checked 2026-11-14)

Effect if the clinician agrees (illustrative)

Change: add E87.1
Secondary-diagnosis level: — → CC
MS-DRG (illustrative): 690 Kidney and urinary tract infections without MCC → 690 Kidney and urinary tract infections without MCC
Relative weight: 0.8095 → 0.8095 (+0.0000)
Codes before: N39.0, E66.812, N18.4, N17.9, I50.9, E78.5, I10
Codes after: N39.0, E66.812, N18.4, N17.9, I50.9, E78.5, I10, E87.1

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 690 → 690 (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.

Question:
Based on your clinical judgement and the indicators above, can a related diagnosis be documented?

Response options (select one or write your own):
( ) Hyponatremia (please specify cause, if known)
( ) Other (please specify): ____________

Other findings on this encounter

Chronic kidney disease · Clinical validation gap Documented “CKD stage 4” (N18.4) conflicts with what the criteria support (Chronic kidney disease stage 3b, N18.32).
Heart failure · Clinical judgement required Clinical judgement required: Only one acute indicator; acuity needs clinical judgement.
