Z94.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of kidney transplant status. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. Clinically undetermined.
How do you code chronic renal failure?
End stage renal disease. N18.6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM N18.6 became effective on October 1, 2018.
When facing the likelihood of requiring at least two kidney transplants in their lives, pediatric patients with kidney failure who receive their first transplant from live kidney donor have more favorable outcomes vs those who receive organs from deceased donors, new research shows.

50340: Recipient nephrectomy (separate procedure) 50360: Renal allotransplantation; implementation of graft, excluding donor and recipient nephrectomy (without recipient nephrectomy) 50365: Renal allotransplantation, implantation of graft; with recipient nephrectomy. 50370: Removal of transplanted renal allograft.
Allotransplant (allo- meaning "other" in Greek) is the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs to a recipient from a genetically non-identical donor of the same species. The transplant is called an allograft, allogeneic transplant, or homograft.
A transplant complication is only coded if the function of the transplanted organ is affected. Patients may still have some form of CKD even after transplant. Malignancy of a transplanted organ should be coded as a transplant complication followed by the code C80. 2, Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted ...
A kidney transplant may not fully restore kidney function; therefore, patients who have undergone a kidney transplant may still have some form of Chronic Kidney Disease. Code Z94. 0, Kidney replaced by transplant, may be assigned with the appropriate CKD code, based on the patient's post-transplant stage.
21 and E11. 22 have an excludes 1 notes therefore they can be coded together as long as a separate renal manifestation is present, I would just be careful when coding the actual renal condition as there are some renal codes that are excluded when using CKD codes.
Encounter for aftercare following kidney transplant Z48. 22 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z48. 22 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Kidney transplant status0: Kidney transplant status.
ICD-10 Codes for Kidney Transplant Rejection and Failure 1 code for kidney transplant rejection or failure specified as either T86. 100 for kidney transplant rejection or as T86. 101 for kidney transplant failure.
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.
The best recipients for transplantation are young individuals whose renal failure is not due to a systemic disease that will damage the transplanted kidney or cause death from extra-renal causes. The time a patient has spent on dialysis is an independent predictor of a poorer outcome from renal transplantation.
Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is a non-invasive test of allograft injury that may enable more frequent, quantitative, and safer assessment of allograft rejection and injury status. These investigators examined this possibility by prospectively collected blood specimens at scheduled intervals and at the time of clinically indicated biopsies. In 102 kidney recipients, these researchers measured plasma levels of dd-cfDNA and correlated the levels with allograft rejection status ascertained by histology in 107 biopsy specimens. The dd-cfDNA level discriminated between biopsy specimens showing any rejection (T cell-mediated rejection or antibody-mediated rejection [ABMR]) and controls (no rejection histologically), p < 0.001 (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve [AUC], 0.74; 95 % confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.61 to 0.86). Positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) for active rejection at a cut-off of 1.0 % dd-cfDNA were 61 % and 84 %, respectively. The AUC for discriminating ABMR from samples without ABMR was 0.87 (95 % CI: 0.75 to 0.97). PPV and NPV for ABMR at a cut-off of 1.0 % dd-cfDNA were 44 % and 96 %, respectively. Median dd-cfDNA was 2.9 % (ABMR), 1.2 % (T cell-mediated types ≥ IB), 0.2 % (T cell-mediated type IA), and 0.3 % in controls (p = 0.05 for T cell-mediated rejection types ≥ IB versus controls). The authors concluded that dd-cfDNA may be used to assess allograft rejection and injury; dd-cfDNA levels of less than 1 % reflected the absence of active rejection (T cell-mediated type ≥ IB or ABMR) and levels greater than 1 % indicated a probability of active rejection. They stated that the next steps of development include studies to validate these findings and to demonstrate the clinical utility of this new type of immune monitoring of the graft.
The Kidne y Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx-Kidney) refers to mRNA gene expression analysis of 1,494 genes utilizing microarray; it measures mRNA transcript levels in transplant kidney biopsy tissue, with allograft rejection and injury algorithm reported as a probability score.
On rare occasions, kidneys with lesions of the renal artery or its branches are not amenable to in-situ reconstruction. In these circumstances, temporary removal of the kidney, ex-vivo preservation, microvascular repair (work-bench surgery), and autotransplantation may permit salvage.
Banham and colleagues (2018) stated that B cells produce allo-antibodies and activate allo-reactive T cells, negatively affecting kidney transplant survival. By contrast, regulatory B cells are associated with transplant tolerance. Immunotherapies are needed that inhibit B-cell effector function, including antibody secretion, while sparing regulators and minimizing infection risk. B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) is a cytokine that promotes B-cell activation and has not previously been targeted in kidney transplant recipients. These researchers examined the safety and activity of an anti-BLyS antibody, belimumab, in addition to standard-of-care immunosuppression in adult kidney transplant recipients. They used an experimental medicine study design with multiple secondary and exploratory end-points to gain further insight into the effect of belimumab on the generation of de-novo IgG and on the regulatory B-cell compartment. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase-II clinical trial, these researchers employed belimumab, in addition to standard-of-care immunosuppression (basiliximab, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and prednisolone) at 2 centers. Subjects were eligible if they were aged 18 to 75 years and receiving a kidney transplant and were planned to receive standard-of-care immunosuppression. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either intravenous belimumab 10 mg/kg body weight or placebo, given at day 0, 14, and 28, and then every 4 weeks for a total of 7 infusions. The co-primary end-points were safety and change in the concentration of naive B cells from baseline to week 24, both of which were analyzed in all patients who received a transplant and at least 1 dose of drug or placebo (the modified intention-to-treat [mITT] population). Between September 13, 2013, and February 8, 2015, of 303 patients assessed for eligibility, 28 kidney transplant recipients were randomly assigned to receive belimumab (n = 14) or placebo (n = 14); 25 patients (12 [86 %] patients assigned to the belimumab group and 13 [93 %] patients assigned to the placebo group) received a transplant and were included in the mITT population. These investigators observed similar proportions of adverse events (AEs) in the belimumab and placebo groups, including serious infections (1 [8 %] of 12 in the belimumab group and 5 [38 %] of 13 in the placebo group during the 6-month on-treatment phase; and none in the belimumab group and 2 [15 %] in the placebo group during the 6-month follow-up). In the on-treatment phase, 1 patient in the placebo group died because of fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and acute cardiac failure. The co-primary end-point of a reduction in naive B cells from baseline to week 24 was not met. Treatment with belimumab did not significantly reduce the number of naive B cells from baseline to week 24 (adjusted MD between the belimumab and placebo treatment groups -34.4 cells/μL, 95 % CI: -109.5 to 40.7). The authors concluded that belimumab might be a useful adjunct to standard-of-care immunosuppression in renal transplantation, with no major increased risk of infection and potential beneficial effects on humoral allo-immunity. These preliminary findings need to be validated by well-designed studies.
