When you look up “syndrome, cardiorenal” in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, it will direct you to reference “hypertension, cardiorenal,” which leads to ICD-10-CM category I13.- (hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease). However, from a clinical standpoint, cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is not always the hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In some cases when the cardiorenal syndrome is documented, the patient does not have hypertension or CKD at all, which is why clinical knowledge for this condition is very important for inpatient coders to review.

During this 60-minute webinar, Sarah Nehring, CCS, CCDS, RHIT, will review inpatient ICD-10-CM reporting for CRS. She will provide an in-depth review of clinical indicators, classifications, and the various types of CRS. Nehring will also touch on other corresponding conditions such as CKD, renal failure, and heart failure. The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A.
