What are the icd-9-cm codes for acute and chronic renal failure in patient with hypertension?
584.9, 403.90, 585.9
What acute means?
Acute means "now", "immediate", "current". Acute is often found as a description of a medical problem. For example, "The patient was admitted for acute renal failure." If the condition is not acute, it it chronic. For example, "The patient received a diagnosis of chronic renal failure."
What has the author Mark A Newberry written?
Mark A. Newberry has written: 'Textbook of hemodialysis for patient care personnel' -- subject(s): Acute renal failure, Chronic Kidney Failure, Chronic renal failure, Hemodialysis, Therapy, Treatment
What does acutely mean?
Acute means "now", "immediate", "current". Acute is often found as a description of a medical problem. For example, "The patient was admitted for acute renal failure." If the condition is not acute, it it chronic. For example, "The patient received a diagnosis of chronic renal failure."
What is the difference between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
The difference between acute renal (kidney) failure and chronic kidney failure, is that acute is a sudden onset. Something like a medical condition, trama, or surgery can cause the failure within days or even hrs. Chrinic kidney failure is slow damage to the kidney over a few years, resulting in the kidneys not being able to filter blood properly.
How do you differentiate between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
A recent acute cause like severe bleeding and hypovolaemia or acute urinary tract obstruction usually point to an acute type of renal failure. Chronic diabetes or hypertension, poly-cystic kidney disease etc on the other hand makes the chronic renal failure more likely. An ultrasound can be helpful, as a chronic renal disease can lead to a shrunken kidney. So the size of the kidney can be helpful. Serial measurement of serum creatinine is the preferred measure, but generally if in doubt, it is better to treat as acute renal failure, which is usually reversible, as opposed to the chronic form which is not. Other biochemical abnormalities like hyperphosphataemia, hyperkalemia and low erythropoetin can also favor the chronic form of renal failure, but are generally less reliable.
Complications of nephritic syndrome?
* Acute kidney failure * Chronic kidney failure * End-stage kidney disease * High blood pressure * Congestive heart failure * Pulmonary edema * Chronic glomerulonephritis * Nephrotic syndrome
Jugular vein distention is associated with?
right-sided heart failure, when the right ventricle is hypertrophied or dilated which is secondary to pulmonary hypertension (usu. d/t pulmonary embolism in acute cor pulmonale, but d/t COPD in chronic cor pulmonale)
What are the types of Hypertension?
As far as I know there are many causes of hypertension (high blood pressure); but as far as types of hyper tension--I believe there are only chronic (long term pathological) and acute (sudden onset, or unusual presentation of).
Acute left sided congestive heart failure what exactly does ACUTE mean in this instance?
'Acute' means sudden onset or short course, as opposed to 'chronic' which means long duration or frequent recurrence.
Is cholera acute or chronic disease?
