About Q60

Q60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for renal agenesis and other reduction defects of kidney. It belongs to block Q60-Q64 (congenital malformations of the urinary system) and chapter 17 (congenital malformations, deformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q60.0 (unilateral), Q60.1 (bilateral), Q60.2 (unspecified), Q60.3 (unilateral), Q60.4 (bilateral), Q60.5 (unspecified) and Q60.6 (syndrome).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
