Postrenal failure is a type of acute renal failure that occurs as a result of obstruction to urine outflow. This obstruction to urine outflow can occur anywhere after, or 'post-,' the kidneys. This...
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.

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.
For patients who have received a kidney transplant, the coder should assign the appropriate N18 code for the patient's stage of CKD and code Z94.
Two codes are necessary to completely classify a transplant complication. One code identifies the transplanted organ (996.8x). The fifth digit subclassification is required to identify the specific organ affected, while the second code is needed to identify the complication.
Coders should pay special attention to this diagnosis because the physician may be indicating a past history of ESRD. The kidney transplantation was initially performed to improve the patient's kidney function, and it would be unlikely that patient would still have ESRD.
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a medical condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis leading to the need for a regular course of long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintain life. Beneficiaries may become entitled to Medicare based on ESRD.
ICD-10 code N18. 6 for End stage renal disease is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
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.
Remember, status codes are only used when there is no disease or complication of the organs. Patient presents with shortness of breath and is diagnosed with acute diastolic heart failure. The patient had a heart transplant about two years ago.
Malignancy of a transplanted organ should be coded as a transplant complication followed by the code C80.2, Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted organ.
An injury that is not related to the transplant (such as fracture of femur) would not be coded as a transplant complication. If documentation is not clear, a query may be needed to clarify if the transplanted organ function is affected, especially when there are bilateral organs and only one is transplanted.
Even though the heart failure developed long after the transplant of the heart, this is coded as a complication of the transplant. This disease/illness affected the function of the transplanted heart. There are no timeframe restriction on complications of a transplanted organ.
Patient presents status post left kidney transplant. There is still documented chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the patient only having one functioning kidney. This would NOT be coded as a complication of the transplanted kidney unless the physician states that there is a complication of the transplant.
Coronary atherosclerosis of a transplanted heart is not coded as a transplant complication. Pneumonia that is specified to be of the transplanted lung is a complication since this affects the function of the lung.
