2025 ICD-10-CM code N99.0
Postprocedural kidney failure, acute or chronic.
Medical necessity is established by the causal link between the procedure and the subsequent kidney failure. The documentation must clearly demonstrate that the kidney failure is a direct result of the procedure.
In simple words: Kidney failure following a medical procedure, which can be either sudden (acute) or long-term (chronic).
Postprocedural (acute) (chronic) kidney failure
Example 1: A patient develops acute kidney failure after a cardiac catheterization procedure., A patient experiences chronic kidney disease following a kidney transplant surgery., A patient's kidney function deteriorates after a complex urological procedure.
Documentation should include details of the procedure performed, evidence of kidney failure (e.g., lab results, imaging studies), and the temporal relationship between the procedure and the onset of kidney failure.
