My interpretation is the ICD-9 book leads you to code 404.91 when coding cardiorenal syndrome, even if CKD is not documented (and would not be coded). Cardiorenal syncrome can cause acute kidney failure in a patient that does not have chronic kidney disease. This is under currently under review at my place of employment and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
