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.

Transplant glomerulopathy is defined as reduplication/multilammination of the glomerular basement membrane as observed by light (Figure 1) and/or electron microscopy (Figure 2) in a kidney allograft in the absence of immune deposits.
Not to be left out, COVID-19 related codes continue to be added to the codes set with two new U codes for Post-COVID condition and Post-COVID condition, unspecified. But perhaps my personal favorite in this category is the new Z code Z71. 85 Encounter for immunization safety counseling.

A transplant complication is only coded if the function of the transplanted organ is affected
Coding complications of transplanted organs has always been a coding dilemma. With the implementation of ICD-10-CM that didn’t change. However, coders have multiple directives to help in determining what a complication of the transplant is vs. non-transplant conditions and diseases. Documentation does not typically state that a condition is a complication of the transplant, and it is up to the coder to know which conditions would be considered complications. Coders are no longer only assigning codes to terms that they read in a patient record. They also have to know the function of the organs, and the disease processes. To me, the first thing I think of is, “was the function of the transplanted organ affected?” There’s no way to list out every scenario that a coder will see, but let’s look at the most common organ transplants with complications that coders see:
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.
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.
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. Query may be needed on these if the documentation is unclear. If the patient has progressed to end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis again, this would be coded as a complication since the function of the transplanted kidney is affected (the need for dialysis).
Patient presents with sepsis due to pyelonephritis and is also s/p bilateral lung transplant just a few months earlier. This would NOT be considered a complication of the lung transplant since the infection is in the urinary system. This condition may complicate the treatment given for the lung transplant, but if there is no affect in the function of the transplanted lung it is not coded as a complication.
Documentation does not typically state that a condition is a complication of the transplant, and it is up to the coder to know which conditions would be considered complications. Coders are no longer only assigning codes to terms that they read in a patient record. They also have to know the function of the organs, and the disease processes.
