Coding during the admission where transplant occurs

Example scenario renal transplant process for coding purposes

Renal Transplant Patient coding process

• Patient Type (Registry): Surgical
• Apache Type: Elective Surgery
• Admit DX: Pre-op Optimization - 893
• Complication is only one of:
  • Renal Transplant – living donor – 805-04
  • Renal Transplant – Cadaver donor 805-05

Discussion

• Is the complication for organ source mandatory? Should there be a check for it? Ttenbergen 16:56, 3 September 2009 (CDT)
• Where does the transplant itself get coded then? These instructions omit it.Ttenbergen 16:57, 3 September 2009 (CDT)
• Just to confirm - is the transplant surgery truly elective at all times? Would there not be an "expiry" consideration for cadaver donors? Ttenbergen 16:59, 3 September 2009 (CDT)

Renal Donor

• Admit: Recovery Room
• Patient Type (Registry): Surgical
• Apache Type: Elective Surgery
• Admit Dx: Nephrectomy – Kidney Donor 801-01 Nephrectomy

Coding during future admissions of Renal Transplant Recipients

Intact and working transplant

• do not code CRF if the patient's transplant is working

Transplant not working

• if transplant is not working and patient meets coding requirement, code CRF
• enter Renal Transplant in comorbids
• enter one of the following codes as admit or complication as appropriate, prioritizing is as usual:
  • Renal Transplant Surgery - Rejection (361-01)
  • Renal Transplant Surgery - Other (361-90) if not clearly related to rejection

Considerations for entering Tasks

Renal Transplant patients sometimes qualify for one of the Dialysis Tasks either prior to transplant of if an earlier transplant has failed; check that article and code the task if applicable.

Template:Data Integrity Rules There are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses, centralized info about them is in Renal Coding Considerations.
