Physician documents acute on chronic renal failure. Would 518.84 be correct code or should this be coded as 584.9, 585.9?

Thanks for any help.
 
518.84 is for RESPIRATORY failure. You should code the acute renal failure first, with the chronic renal failure as the secondary dx according to coding guidelines.
