If the note states CKD (chronic kidney disease) in the HPI, can you count kidney as location even though it is a disease that affects more than just kidney?

Hi I'm sorry to take over your thread, but I have a question regarding Location also. I have a ED chart pt's CC is "I'm sick". In your opinion, would you take that as location? So not to sway any opinions, I will not say what the coder did nor what I said to do.
