{{ICD10 Guideline Transplant Failure}}

Is "don't code history of transplant when coding transplant rejection because it's implied" something you are aware of? It's not something I would have thought of if you had asked me to write a query that lists all records with previous transplants. If we want to change this could you bring it to task meeting?

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.
