Lena Lindqvist: Acute kidney injury

ENC-00174 · 75M · Hospital Medicine · admitted Tue Nov 03, 2026 07:24 PM · discharged Tue Nov 10, 2026 12:36 PM · attending Dr. Odette Galloway · resident Dr. Greta Kowalczyk

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: not documented
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: — → —
MS-DRG (illustrative): 377 GI hemorrhage with MCC → 377 GI hemorrhage with MCC
Relative weight: 1.8280 → 1.8280 (+0.0000)
Codes before: K92.2, J96.01, D62, I10
Codes after: K92.2, J96.01, D62, I10

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 377 → 378 (RW -0.8473).

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

0.0 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.

DOCUMENTATION QUERY (draft)
Title: Clarification request: kidney function documentation
Encounter: ENC-00174   Patient: Lena Lindqvist   To: Dr. Odette Galloway

Clinical indicators from the health record:
- creatinine 0.94 mg/dL (lowest this stay) (2026-11-08 05:00) [lab LAB-005954]
- creatinine 1.68 mg/dL (peak this stay) (2026-11-03 20:24) [lab LAB-005949]
- creatinine 0.96 (2026-11-09 05:00) [lab LAB-005955]

Question:
Could you review the kidney function indicators above and clarify any related diagnosis, if clinically appropriate?

Response options (select one or write your own):
( ) Acute kidney injury (please specify stage, if known)
( ) Other (please specify): ____________
( ) Unable to determine

Please respond based on your independent clinical judgement. Any response, including "unable to determine", is acceptable. This query and your response are kept as part of the health record.

Other findings on this encounter

Acute blood loss anaemia · Clinical validation gap Documented “acute blood loss anemia” (D62) is more specific than the criteria support (Anemia (acute blood-loss criteria not met), D64.9).
Malnutrition · Specificity gap Criteria support Moderate (non-severe) protein-calorie malnutrition (acute illness context) (E44.0); no corresponding diagnosis is documented.
Acute respiratory failure · Clinical validation gap Documented “acute hypoxic respiratory failure” (J96.01) but the criteria are not met: No hypoxaemia on room air (lowest SpO2 93%), oxygen no more than 2 L/min, no advanced support.
