Page kidney
ICD-10 N26.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of page kidney.
Page kidney is a condition characterized by the compression of the kidney due to the presence of a hematoma or fluid collection, typically following trauma or surgical intervention. This compression can lead to ischemic nephropathy, where the blood supply to the kidney is compromised, resulting in renal dysfunction. The condition is named after Dr. Page, who first described it in the context of renal trauma. Clinically, patients may present with flank pain, hematuria, and signs of renal impairment. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans, which reveal the presence of a mass effect on the kidney. Management may involve observation, drainage of the hematoma, or surgical intervention depending on the severity of the symptoms and the degree of renal compromise. Understanding the underlying causes, such as trauma or surgical complications, is crucial for effective treatment and management of Page kidney.
Detailed clinical notes on renal function tests, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with flank pain and hematuria post-trauma or surgery.
Ensure accurate documentation of renal function and any interventions performed.
Surgical notes detailing the procedure, findings, and any complications.
Post-operative patients with complications leading to renal compression.
Document the surgical approach and any intraoperative findings that may affect coding.
Used to evaluate renal structure in suspected Page kidney.
Document findings and any abnormalities noted during the ultrasound.
Nephrologists and urologists should ensure imaging correlates with clinical findings.
Page kidney is a condition where a hematoma compresses the kidney, leading to renal dysfunction and is often a result of trauma or surgical complications.
