In healthcare, diagnosis codes are used as a tool to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, poisonings, adverse effects of drugs & chemicals, injuries and other reasons for patient encounters. Diagnostic coding is the translation of written descriptions of diseases, illnesses and injuries into codes from a particular classification.

Now, when you look up retroperitoneal hemorrhage, it is defined as hemorrhage from the kidney into the retroperitoneal space with various causes such as trauma, vasculitis, an aneurysm, a tumor, renal infarct, or a cyst. Retroperitoneal hematoma is defined as one resulting from retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal hemorrhage and retroperitoneal hematoma are often used synonymously (which I find a bit confusing), defined as an accumulation of blood found in the retroperitoneal space.
Code K66.1, Hemoperitoneum (Hematoperitoneum), qualifies as an MCC as a secondary diagnosis.
Now, let’s look at code R58, Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified (NEC) (which means there is enough documentation but there is not a specific code). Included under this code is also Hemorrhage, not otherwise specified (NOS) (which means there is not enough documentation to select a more specific code), and this condition is not considered by CMS to be either a CC/MCC as a secondary diagnosis. However, if it is the principal diagnosis, it would lead you to DRG 316-Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, which has a GMLOS of 2 days and a RW of 0.7401. If my math is correct, there is a difference in reimbursement of about $500.
Retroperitoneal hematoma describes a heterogeneous condition that may arise spontaneously, as a result of trauma or iatrogenically. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality and requires interprofessional care to achieve a good outcome. This activity describes the evaluation and management of retroperitoneal hematoma and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition.
Additionally, appropriate resuscitation should be undertaken for patients demonstrating hemodynamic instability. Blood transfusion should be ordered for those with signs and symptoms or lab findings of anemia.
CT scan serves to identify presence, location, and to guide therapy of retroperitoneal hematoma potentially. The presence of intravenous contrast extravasation has been shown to be an independent predictor of the need for interventional radiology or surgical intervention. [8][9]
Underlying causes of spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma include rupture of parenchymal lesions such as angiomyolipomas, cysts, and renal carcinomas or underlying vascular malformations such as aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of any number of retroperitoneal vessels. Vessels implicated in case reports have included a wide range, such as the superior gluteal artery, various lumbar arteries, renal artery, and pancreaticoduodenal artery. [9]
Pelvic (Zone III) retroperitoneal hematomas are primarily the result of pelvic fractures and venous bleeding . These injuries are less amenable to surgical management. The initial approach to the patient with presumed blood loss due to pelvic injury is external pelvic fixation/binding, which may help to slow or tamponade the bleeding. Definitive management is by angiographic embolization of the bleeding vessels. [10]
Retroperitoneal hematomas that occur outside the setting of trauma are either spontaneous or iatrogenic in etiology.
The term “retroperi toneal hematoma” comprises several distinct clinical entities that are best characterized according to their underlying mechanisms. The easiest way to dichotomize this diagnosis is to classify retroperitoneal hematoma as traumatic versus nontraumatic. The traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma heading can be further subdivided into penetrating versus blunt. The nontraumatic retroperitoneal hematoma category can be further broken down into spontaneous and iatrogenic. [3]
K68.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other disorders of retroperitoneum. The code K68.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Your peritoneum is the tissue that lines your abdominal wall and covers most of the organs in your abdomen. A liquid, peritoneal fluid, lubricates the surface of this tissue. Disorders of the peritoneum are not common. They include. Peritonitis - an inflammation of the peritoneum.
