      Thank you for your question regarding CMS1028v3/PC-07 (Severe Obstetric Complications). It is appropriate to code as Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) if there is there is supporting documentation of an AKI by a clinician and the condition is sustained. 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.

      With the PC-07 Severe Obstetric Complication measure, we are seeing patients coded with Acute Kidney Injury for patients with an elevated serum creatinine during delivery encounter which resolves prior to discharge.  Most times, patient has a diagnosis of preeclampsia.  Is this correct to code as Acute Kidney Injury.
