What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Renal Failure?
Renal failure is a critical condition requiring precise coding for accurate medical records and billing. Here are 6 to 10 commonly used Renal Failute ICD Codes:
N17.0 - Acute kidney failure with tubular necrosis:
Rapid kidney dysfunction due to acute tubular injury, often caused by ischemia or nephrotoxic agents.
N17.1 - Acute kidney failure with acute cortical necrosis:
Vascular disorders usually cause sudden kidney failure resulting from necrosis of the renal cortex.
N17.2 - Acute kidney failure with medullary necrosis:
Acute kidney failure due to necrosis of the renal medulla is commonly associated with sickle cell disease or NSAID use.
N17.8 - Other acute kidney failure:
Any other types of acute kidney failure are not classified under N17.0 to N17.2.
N17.9 - Acute kidney failure, unspecified
Acute kidney failure with unspecified etiology or characteristics.
N18.4 - Chronic kidney disease, stage 4 (severe):
Severe decrease in kidney function (GFR 15-29 ml/min/1.73 m²) lasting more than three months.
N18.5 - Chronic kidney disease, stage 5 (end-stage renal disease):
Kidney failure requiring dialysis, transplant, or supportive care (GFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m²).
N19 - Unspecified kidney failure:
Kidney failure with unspecified nature or cause.
N25.0 - Renal osteodystrophy:
Bone changes secondary to chronic kidney disease, often osteoporosis or bone pain.
