Acute Kidney Injury Due To Immunotherapy

Usage Guidelines & Examples

• Use N17.9 for unspecified acute kidney injury when the cause is not documented; use N14.1 when specifically due to immunotherapy.
• Do not use N17.9 if the cause of acute kidney injury is clearly documented as due to other factors (e.g., dehydration, nephrotoxic drugs).
• N14.1 is specifically for acute kidney injury due to immunotherapy, while N17.0-N17.8 cover other types of acute kidney injury.
• Common errors include misclassifying acute kidney injury as chronic; ensure documentation supports acute diagnosis.
• In complex cases, consider additional codes for underlying conditions or complications.
