In simple words: This code refers to a fluid-filled sac (cyst) in the kidney that is present at birth.
Congenital renal cyst. This code refers to a cyst within the kidney that is present from birth. It is a distinct condition from acquired renal cysts that develop later in life.
Example 1: A newborn infant is found to have a solitary cyst on their kidney during a routine ultrasound., A fetus is diagnosed with multiple renal cysts during a prenatal ultrasound.After birth, the infant is coded Q61.0 until further specification can be made postnatally about the number and type of renal cysts., A child presents with recurrent urinary tract infections.Imaging studies reveal a large congenital renal cyst that is causing obstruction.
Documentation should include the type, location, and size of the cyst, as well as any associated symptoms or complications. Imaging studies (such as ultrasound or CT scan) confirming the presence of the cyst should be included.Specify if single or multiple.
** Further evaluation may be needed to determine the specific type of renal cystic disease (e.g., single cyst, multiple cysts, polycystic kidney disease) and the underlying cause.Refer to iFrameAI product for the most complete and accurate coding information as this changes periodically.
