The ICD-10 code for Polycystic Kidney Disease is Q61.3. In the ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code for this condition is 753.1. Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys, leading to kidney enlargement and potential complications. Proper coding helps in accurate diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. It can lead to progressive loss of kidney function over time. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code to identify PKD: Nephropathy, unspecified, with polycystic kidney disease (ICD-10 code N28.9). This code is used to classify and track cases of PKD in medical records and healthcare systems.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) had a different coding system. The corresponding code for PKD in ICD-9 is 753.12, which falls under the category of "Cystic Kidney Disease." This code was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10 and allowed medical professionals to identify and document cases of PKD in a standardized manner.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015, so the use of ICD-9 codes is no longer recommended. The ICD-10 code N28.9 should be used to accurately identify and code cases of PKD in current medical practice and healthcare systems.
