List your primary dx with ICD code. Briefly explain/ discuss your primary dx and the rational

• Acute Kidney Failure, Unspecified (N17.9) (Uremia-prerenal azotemia) – Ken Fowler presented with complaints of elevated creatinine, nausea, and vomiting following an intake of naproxen, an NSAID. The nausea and vomiting were associated with fatigue, reduced oral intake, and decreased appetite. The sequence of occurrence of these events indicates that the most likely diagnosis would primarily be acute kidney injury with the drug naproxen as the primary causative factor. Naproxen is highly nephrotoxic and is a pre-renal cause of kidney failure (Hoste et al., 2018). The physical exam findings of an elevated heart rate, dehydration, tenderness at the periumbilical region, and hypotension also support this diagnosis.

List the Differential Dx with ICD and A Brief Explanation the Rational

50. Medication-Related Side Effect (ICD 10 995A) – Ken Fowler reports that prior to visiting his PCP, he experienced severe nausea, and vomiting that just preceded the intake of naproxen, an NSAID for Backpain. Naproxen acts by inhibiting COX enzymes to decrease prostaglandins synthesis, which can primarily result in renal ischemia, reduce glomeruli pressure, and increase the risk of acute kidney injury.
51. Acute Nephritic Syndrome (ICD 10 N00.9) – Patients with ANS will demonstrate high levels of creatinine, oliguria, fatigue, vomiting, and nausea, pain at the periumbilical region, and anorexia (Bhalla et al., 2019). It however follows a recent systemic illness, which lacks in the case of Ken Fowler. On physical exam, the clinician is likely to find pedal and facial edema, and periorbital edema.
52. Urinary Obstruction (ICD 10 9) – patients with urinary obstruction report symptoms such as; decreased urine output (oliguria), hesitancy, and abdominal pain. Ken Fowler ihuman soap note Its risk factors are: advanced age, a previous history of mild chronic renal disease, decreased urinary output, and underlying chronic diseases such as hypertension (Serlin, Heidelbaugh & Stoffel, 2018).
