Good morning,
While reviewing a chart today, I have a patient that has acute on chronic renal 
failure.  MD noted this a due to sepsis. She elevated her creatinine from 
baseline over 1 point. She does not have an elevated lactate.  She does meet 
SIRS criteria.

Would you abstract this as sepsis?

Thanks for the help!
