Transplant failure or rejection or unspecified complication guideline

• This code includes transplant rejection, transplant failure (primary or subsequently), and others problems with the transplanted organ itself.
  • For example if the transplanted organ gets into trouble from Graft-versus-host disease/reaction (GVHD) then you should combine that code with this code.
• This code can be used for the whole range of problems with a transplanted organ -- of any severity (mild dysfunction up to total loss of the transplant) and of any duration (temporary or permanent).
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transplant_rejection
• If you use this code, you should not also code Past history, transplanted kidney, because that is implicit in this code.

Is "don't code history of transplant when coding transplant rejection because it's implied" something you are aware of? It's not something I would have thought of if you had asked me to write a query that lists all records with previous transplants. If we want to change this could you bring it to task meeting?
