Kidney transplant vs ESRD
- If the patient has a Past history, transplanted kidney, do not also code the Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5 that occurred in the native kidneys, which was the reason for the transplant because having had ESRD is implied in having had a kidney transplant.
- Exception: If the transplanted kidney has completely failed (e.g. the patient is back on dialysis), then do also code: Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5, because now it applies to the transplanted kidney. Also code Kidney transplant, failure or rejection or unspecified complication.
