Template:ICD10 Guideline Transplant Failure
This template is used in "* transplant, failure or rejection or unspecified complication" pages to give consistent instructions.
To use:
- {{ICD10 Guideline Transplant Failure}}
Transplant failure or rejection or unspecified complication guideline
- 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).
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transplant_rejection
- If you use this code, you should not also code Past history, transplanted kidney, because that is implicit in this code.
Prophylactic treatment does not indicate infection
CMV+ or EBV+ donors or recipients
- We are NOT coding anything having to do with the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) or EBV status of the donor.
- Accordingly, do not code a transplant recipient as infected or colonized with such organisms, but of course DO code them as infected with them IF THEY BECOME INFECTED WITH THEM -- which is not indicated just by the recipient being prophylactically treated for them after the transplant.
- As per Colonized with organism (not infected), we are not tracking colonization with either of these viruses.
