About Z84.1

Z84.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for family history of disorders of kidney and ureter. It belongs to category Z84 (family history of other conditions), block Z77-Z99 (persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status) and chapter 21 (factors influencing health status and contact with health services). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z84 (family history of other conditions), Z84.1 is specifically for family history of disorders of kidney and ureter. Related codes cover diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (Z84.0), other diseases of the genitourinary system (Z84.2), consanguinity (Z84.3), other specified conditions (Z84.8) and exposure to diethylstilbestrol (Z84.A).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z84.11 ([AMKD]) and Z84.19 (ureter).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2026 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V18.69 (family history of other kidney diseases).
