Additional Info
- This code covers:
- Kidney infarction or ischemia from any cause
- Renal artery thromboembolism -- even if it didn't result in full ischemia or infarction
- A renal infarction results from disruption of blood flow to the kidney. It is often a sign of systemic illness. Once the diagnosis of renal infarction has been made, the cause needs to be found. Renal infarction can result from an embolus arising in a distant location or from thrombosis of the renal artery. Renal artery thrombosis can be secondary to a diseased artery, systemic hypercoagulability or trauma
- Ischemia is an entity that can be contributed to my a variety of causes, and in any organ or body region
- When regional ischemia is present, you should use the ICD10 Category:Ischemia code for that body region, e.g. Limb ischemia (upper or lower), Mesenteric ischemia, acute
- IF known, you should also link to the ischemia code the contributing cause or causes, which may include:
- the Category:Atherosclerosis code of the relevant regional arterial tree -- e.g. Atherosclerosis of arteries of arms or legs
- the Category:Venous thromboembolism / Category:Arterial thromboembolism code of the relevant regional arterial tree -- e.g. Thromboembolism/embolism, renal vein
- Compartment Syndrome
- Mechanical compression of a limb or its vessels (as most often occurs in trauma situations)
- Use of vasoconstrictor medications, for whatever indication
- Of course, a patient may have any of these potential causes of ischemia without ischemia.
