Additional Info
- 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).
- The most common type of heart transplant rejection is called acute cellular rejection. This happens when your T-cells (part of your immune system) attack the cells of your new heart. It happens most often in the first 3 to 6 months after transplant.
Humoral rejection is a less common type. It’s also known as acute antibody rejection. It can develop during the first month after transplantation. Or it can happen as late as months to years after transplant. With humoral rejection, antibodies injure the blood vessels in your body, including your coronary arteries. This can cause problems with blood flow to the heart.
Heart transplant rejection can also be chronic. Coronary artery vasculopathy is a form of chronic rejection. It affects the coronary arteries. These supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. In coronary artery vasculopathy, the inner lining of the blood vessel thickens.
