About coding renal dysplasia
The ICD-10-CM code for renal dysplasia is Q61.4 (Renal dysplasia). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q61.4.
Within Q61 (cystic kidney disease), Q61.4 is specifically for renal dysplasia. Related codes cover congenital renal cyst (Q61.0), polycystic kidney, infantile type (Q61.1), polycystic kidney, adult type (Q61.2), polycystic kidney, unspecified (Q61.3), medullary cystic kidney (Q61.5), other cystic kidney diseases (Q61.8) and unspecified (Q61.9).
Don't report Q61.4 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: polycystic kidney disease (Q61.11-Q61.3).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
