2025 ICD-10-CM code N99.0

Postprocedural kidney failure, acute or chronic.

Use additional code to identify the type of kidney disease (N17-N19). Refer to iFrameAI for the most up-to-date coding guidelines and to ensure accuracy.

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.

** Excludes2: certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96), certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99), complications of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium (O00-O9A), congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99), endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases (E00-E88), injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88), neoplasms (C00-D49), symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94).This information is current as of December 1, 2024.Coding guidelines and regulations are subject to change, so it is essential to consult the most up-to-date resources, such as iFrameAI, for the latest information.
