Raw content from HSC Medicine Collection Guide
I moved the following here from HSC Medicine Collection Guide to make sure there is no inconsistent information in different places. If Julie uses this data we need to be sure that the instructions used in collecting it can be found in only one place. Chances are this information is already represented in the sections below, it would good if someone who actually collects this could make sure that those sections are correct and comprehensive, and then get rid of this section. Let me know if you would like help with that. If no one gets to it I will give it a shot next time I come across this. Ttenbergen 10:21, 2013 August 8 (CDT)
- Patient Type (Registry): Surgical
- Admit diagnosis:Pre-Optimization-893
- Complication is only one of:
- Renal Transplant-living donor-805-04
- Renal Transplant-Cadaver donor-805-05
- See Renal Coding Considerations
- usually patients are admitted from their home.If the recipient patient is not living in Winnipeg and is receiving a cadaveric donor kidney they may be instructed to go to their nearest hospital and arrangements will be made to transport them to HSC.
- The living donor recipients are scheduled by the renal clinic.The clinic will forward this information the week prior to surgery with the names of both the donor and recipient.Living renal transplants are performed on Thursdays and the patients are admitted Wednesday afternoon.
- Usually these patients have a co-morbidity of chronic renal failure. These patients are treated with routine hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Occasionally the patient may receive a transplant before needing dialysis. If a pt has never received routine dialysis in the past, that pt is coded as chronic renal insufficiency mild or moderate depending on their creatinine.
- Once the patient has received a successful renal transplant and is discharged from the hospital,the next time they are admitted to hospital chronic renal failure will not be captured as a co-morbidity unless the transplanted kidney fails to function and dialysis is started again.
- N.B Chronic renal failure patients who receive a transplant that is not successful,cannot have acute renal failure as an acquired diagnosis for our medical collection data program.This might be captured as delayed graft function/renal transplant problems other,or sometimes it is related to acute tubular necrosis and can be proven by renal biopsy. Other problems will be documented by the Nephrologists. Some problems are:
- ARI (364-00)
- Acute Tubular Necrosis (352-00)
- ARF (Diagnosis) (350 **)
Coding during the admission where transplant occurs
Renal Transplant Patient coding process
- Patient Type (Registry): Surgical
- Apache Type: Elective Surgery
- previous Service- Not applicable if coming from home, Urology surgery if coming from the OR or PACU
- Admit DX: Pre-op Optimization - 893
- Complication is only one of:
- Renal Transplant – living donor – 805-04
- Renal Transplant – Cadaver donor 805-05
Discussion
The following questions relate to improvements of the renal coding error checks. We need answers, and they need to stay on this page, if I am to put the internal consistency checks in place. Ttenbergen 14:46, 2013 January 31 (EST) Template:Discussion
- Is the complication for organ source mandatory? Should there be a check for it? Ttenbergen 16:56, 3 September 2009 (CDT)
- as per Fran/Gail: "Yes and it gets coded under renal transplant surgery"
- 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)
- as per Fran/Gail: "I'm not sure if they always are, in the case of cadaveric transplants, although the need to be done immediately, the recipient always can choose not to receive. But I have never seen anyone refuse.. HSC cadaveric transplants are done immediately because we are a single center with donors and recipients in same facility. In other centers where the organ is shipped from east to west coast ideally the surgery should be done within 24hrs, but procedure can be done later. But then the issue of cold ischemia to organ arises. This is according to Dr. Ho (nephrologist)"
Renal Donor Coding Process
see 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.

CMV+ or EBV+ diagnoses
- Immune compromised renal transplants very occasionally become CMV+ or EBV+. This occurs when the donor is positive for CMV or EBV and the recipient was negative.The blood test is done by the Cadham Lab. The nephrologist will document this in the history or progress notes. The transplant recipient will be started on anti-viral medications approximately one week post-op and will continue these medications for six months and in conjunction their immune suppression drug dosage will be titrated lower.
- Diagnosis of this would be unlikely during the transplant hospital stay and you are not expected to follow the patient past discharge. Collect it if it's in the chart, e.g. on a subsequent admission. Julie links data behind the scenes. You would not keep the patient on your laptop after discharge. Hope that is what you meant, if not please clarify.Ttenbergen 17:12, 2013 August 15 (CDT)Thanks for this infor Tina. It clears up my question. (Judy)
Template:Data Integrity Checks
There are a number of coding rules related to renal diagnoses, centralized info about them is in Renal Coding Considerations.
