Congenital renal cyst
ICD-10 Q61.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital renal cyst.
Congenital renal cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in the kidneys during fetal development. These cysts can vary in size and number, and they may affect one or both kidneys. Congenital renal cysts can be classified into several types, including simple cysts, which are typically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, and more complex cysts that may be associated with other renal anomalies or syndromes. In some cases, congenital renal cysts can lead to complications such as hypertension, renal insufficiency, or infection. The presence of renal cysts can be part of broader syndromic conditions, such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) or multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK). Accurate diagnosis often involves imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and management may require monitoring or surgical intervention depending on the cyst's characteristics and associated symptoms.
Pediatric documentation should include growth parameters, developmental milestones, and any associated symptoms or complications related to renal cysts.
Common scenarios include routine prenatal ultrasound findings of renal cysts, evaluation of hypertension in a child, or assessment of renal function in a child with known cystic disease.
Consideration must be given to the child's age, growth patterns, and any signs of renal impairment or systemic involvement.
Genetic documentation should include family history of renal disease, genetic testing results if applicable, and any syndromic associations.
Scenarios may involve genetic counseling for families with a history of polycystic kidney disease or evaluation of syndromic conditions associated with renal cysts.
Genetic factors may play a significant role in the presentation and management of congenital renal cysts, necessitating thorough documentation.
Used to evaluate renal cysts in pediatric patients.
Document indications for ultrasound and findings related to renal cysts.
Pediatric specialists should ensure that the ultrasound findings are clearly linked to the diagnosis.
Common complications include hypertension, renal insufficiency, urinary tract infections, and potential progression to chronic kidney disease, particularly in cases with multiple or complex cysts.
