AHDI standard for numbering CKD stages, not cancer stages - bkp


Posted: Feb 14, 2013

I cannot find in the AHDI Book of Style, 3rd Edition,the rules regarding Chronic Kidney Disease stages. I am aware of the stages of cancer. I used to have a GU doc complain when Roman Numerals were used for CKD stages, not Arabic numerals. Does anybody know?

I have always used and only seen the stages transcribed as numerals. Stage 1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4 and 5. I've never seen Roman numerals used with CKD.

I have stage 3A personally and all my reports have it just that way, not Roman.

I don't see anything in the BOS concerning CKD so I can't help you with that aspect.

Thanks for your answer. It is what I believe also; I just could not find it referenced in AHDI, 3rd edition.

Hey everyone, Just curious about this... I just got a report back from my QA at work, and she dinged me for writing "End stage renal disease" instead of "Endstage renal disease."  Now, someone correct me if I am wrong, but those are 2 separate words and should not be together like that, I dont think.  I wouldn't write Stage6 or Stage4 together, so why the difference with end stage?  We are supposed to used the 3rd edition BOS, but I can't find a reference for this. &nbs ...

In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer.  Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a.  She added the a and dropped the M0.   I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list.  She does not add the a after the N2 in either place.    Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX?  ...
