Hi,

if different CKD stages are present in Medical Record , which Stage we can capture?

ex:
PMH- ckd stage 2,

Assessment:
1. chronic kidney disease stage 3
2. Acute Renal Failure
3. CKD stage 4

Now what are the codes can we capture?
 
You will need to query your provider for clarification on this as the information is contradictory. A patient cannot be in two different stages of chronic kidney disease at the same time.
