It is documented this pt has ckd due to hypovolemia during surgery, and also has hypertension. Guidelines state to assign hypertensive chronic kidney disease when conditions from 585 are present with hypertension, but the provider has clearly stated the CKD is because of blood loss, not hypertension. It just feels odd to code the one without the other and just want to see some kind of consensus. Any references gladly taken.
