Acute (AKI) and 2728 Forms

Created 10/30/2023

Patients diagnosed as Acute (AKI): 

• should not be entered into EQRS
• do not need 2728 Forms

If an Acute patient is accidentally entered into EQRS:

1. Discharge as Acute
2. Delete the 2728 Form

If Acute patient becomes ESRD:

• Admit as 'New ESRD' on the Date they started treatment as an ESRD patient.
• Complete the 2728 Form using the CORRECT DATES::
  • DO use the first treatment date after the MD diagnoses patient as ESRD (end stage renal disease) and no longer Acute.
  • DO NOT use the date the patient started treatment for AKI as the “Date of First Chronic Dialysis.”
  • Do NOT use any Acute (AKI) data.

If the patient receives a kidney transplant, they are diagnosed as ESRD, NOT Acute (AKI).
