      Thank you for your question regarding CMS1028v2/PC-07 (Severe Obstetric Complications).

      Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) (Acute Kidney Failure and/or other kidney failure) should only be coded if there is supporting documentation of an AKI by a clinician. Cases with a lab test indicating elevated creatinine due to preeclampsia which resolves prior to discharge, should not be coded with AKI unless documentation of an AKI by a clinician is also present.

    • increase of patients with preeclampsia diagnosis with acute kidney injury,

      We are seeing patients coded with Acute Kidney Failure and/or other postpartum kidney failure.  These patients have an elevated creatinine during admission due to preeclampsia and is resolved prior to discharge.  Is this an appropriate code to use as patients are meeting criteria for severe obstetric complication then.
