Guidelines › Chronic kidney disease after a kidney transplant
Chronic kidney disease after a kidney transplant
Official text from the FY2027 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. The wording is quoted exactly.
Guidelines I.C.14.a.2; I.C.19.g.3.b
“Therefore, the presence of CKD alone does not constitute a transplant complication.”
“Code T86.1- should not be assigned for post kidney transplant patients who have chronic kidney (CKD) unless a transplant complication such as transplant failure or rejection is documented.”
“If the documentation is unclear as to whether the patient has a complication of the transplant, query the provider.”
