Renal failure following (induced) termination of pregnancy
ICD-10 O04.82 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of renal failure following (induced) termination of pregnancy.
Renal failure following an induced termination of pregnancy can occur due to various factors, including pre-existing renal conditions exacerbated by the physiological changes of pregnancy or complications arising from the termination procedure itself. Medical abortions, whether pharmacological or surgical, can lead to complications such as hemorrhage, infection, or fluid imbalance, which may precipitate acute renal failure. Therapeutic terminations, often performed in cases of severe fetal anomalies or maternal health risks, may also result in renal complications due to the stress of the procedure on the maternal body. Post-abortion care is crucial, as it involves monitoring for signs of renal impairment, managing fluid and electrolyte balance, and addressing any underlying health issues that may contribute to renal failure. Proper documentation of the patient's medical history, the circumstances surrounding the termination, and any subsequent complications is essential for accurate coding and billing.
Documentation must include the patient's medical history, details of the termination procedure, and any complications experienced.
Patients undergoing medical abortion who develop renal complications, or those with pre-existing renal issues requiring termination.
Consideration of the patient's emotional state and potential psychological impacts of termination on health outcomes.
Detailed documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal comorbidities and fetal anomalies.
High-risk pregnancies where termination is indicated due to severe maternal or fetal health issues.
Close monitoring of renal function in patients with pre-existing conditions or those undergoing complex terminations.
Used in cases of medical abortion where complications arise.
Documentation must include the procedure details and any complications noted.
Obstetricians should document any renal complications that arise during or after the procedure.
Documentation must include the type of termination performed, any complications experienced, and the patient's medical history, particularly regarding renal health.
