Missing or incorrect laterality coding (right, left, bilateral) for cysts and related procedures impacting reimbursement and data accuracy. ICD-10-CM coding guidelines crucial for PKD.
Failing to differentiate between autosomal dominant (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive (ARPKD) forms using specific ICD-10-CM codes leads to inaccurate reporting and analysis. CDI query opportunity.
Incomplete capture of associated manifestations like hypertension and renal failure complicates severity assessment and HCC risk adjustment. Impacts quality reporting and MS-DRG assignment.
Patient presents with complaints consistent with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) symptoms, including flank pain, abdominal fullness, hematuria, and hypertension. Family history is positive for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Physical examination reveals palpable bilateral kidney enlargement. Ultrasound imaging demonstrates multiple renal cysts, confirming the diagnosis of PKD. Differential diagnosis included simple renal cysts, acquired cystic kidney disease, and multicystic dysplastic kidney. Assessment supports a diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Plan includes monitoring of blood pressure, renal function (eGFR, creatinine), and electrolyte levels. Patient education provided on PKD management, including dietary modifications (low sodium, fluid management), pain management strategies, and blood pressure control. Genetic counseling referral recommended. Follow-up scheduled to monitor disease progression and assess for complications such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and intracranial aneurysms. ICD-10 code Q61.0 (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) is documented for medical billing and coding purposes. Patient understands the chronic nature of PKD and the importance of regular monitoring.
