What to document in Chronic Kidney disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – must identify stage

Documentation for CKD is not much changed in ICD-10 vs ICD-9. It is still based on the stage of the disease. CRI is an old term that does not accurately capture the severity of illness of patients

Stage 1	GFR  ≥ 90
Stage 2	GFR 60 – 89
Stage 3	GFR 30 – 59
Stage 4	GFR 15 – 29
Stage 5	GFR < 15

Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRI) does not really mean much and is a nonspecific term. 

Answer:

False -  Although both with similar names and both studied kidneys, Addison's disease was discovered by Thomas Addison, a british physician born in 1793.
