2023 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code N17.9
Acute kidney failure, unspecified
2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Billable/Specific Code
- N17.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
- The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM N17.9 became effective on October 1, 2022.
- This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N17.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 N17.9 may differ.
Applicable To- Acute kidney injury (nontraumatic)
Type 2 ExcludesType 2 Excludes Help
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code (N17.9) and the excluded code together.

Clinical Information
- A disorder characterized by the acute loss of renal function and is traditionally classified as pre-renal (low blood flow into kidney), renal (kidney damage) and post-renal causes (ureteral or bladder outflow obstruction).
- Clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate, usually associated with oliguria and always associated with biochemical consequences of the reduction in glomerular filtration rate such as a rise in blood urea nitrogen (bun) and serum creatinine concentrations.
- Sudden and sustained deterioration of the kidney function characterized by decreased glomerular filtration rate, increased serum creatinine or oliguria.
