I'm seeking help from anyone out there w/nephrology experience. What would be the correct dx code for AKI, Acute Kidney Injury. The ICD-9 book directs me to 866.00 however I do not feel comfortable using this code as it relates to more of a trauma type injury. My doc uses this dx frequently as it relates to patients with other health complications that have affected the kidney. I was considering possibly 593.9 but again am just not sure. I'm new to the Nephrology world!! Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!!
