ICD-10-CM Code N17.0
Acute kidney failure with tubular necrosis
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.N17.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of acute kidney failure with tubular necrosis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code N170 is used to code Acute tubular necrosis
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a medical condition involving the death of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys. ATN presents with acute kidney injury (AKI) and is one of the most common causes of AKI. Common causes of ATN include low blood pressure and use of nephrotoxic drugs. The presence of "muddy brown casts" of epithelial cells found in the urine during urinalysis is pathognomonic for ATN. Management relies on aggressive treatment of the factors that precipitated ATN (e.g. hydration and cessation of the offending drug). Because the tubular cells continually replace themselves, the overall prognosis for ATN is quite good if the cause is corrected, and recovery is likely within 7 to 21 days.
