When kidneys cease to filter wastes and extra fluid from the bloodstream, renal failure is considered to be permanent and consideration must be given to hemodialysis and/or kidney transplantation. A common complication of kidney transplant is rejection of the transplanted organ.
Kidney transplantation is a treatment option for most patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The procedure may be deceased-donor (cadaveric) or living-donor transplantation. Living-donor renal transplants may be genetically related (living-related) or non-related (living-unrelated) transplants.
A kidney transplant may not fully restore function to the kidney, and some residual kidney disease could be present. Without the link provided by the physician, coders should report V42.7 with an additional code for the CKD. Physicians may also document in the medical record of the post-kidney transplant recipient ESRD.
Therefore, the presence of CKD alone does not constitute transplant complication. Assign the appropriate N18 code for the patient’s CKD and code Z94.0, kidney transplant status.
