Congenital multiple renal cysts
ICD-10 Q61.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital multiple renal cysts.
Congenital multiple renal cysts refer to a condition characterized by the presence of numerous cysts in one or both kidneys, which can lead to renal dysfunction and other complications. This condition is often associated with genetic syndromes such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) or can occur as an isolated anomaly. The cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can vary in size and number, potentially leading to hypertension, urinary tract infections, and renal failure. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, which can reveal the extent of cyst formation. Management may include monitoring renal function, managing complications, and in severe cases, renal replacement therapy. Understanding the underlying genetic factors is crucial, as congenital multiple renal cysts can be part of broader syndromic presentations, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to care.
Detailed pediatric history, including prenatal factors and family history of renal disease.
Infants presenting with abdominal distension or hypertension; children with recurrent urinary tract infections.
Consideration of growth and development impacts due to renal dysfunction.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree, and counseling notes.
Families seeking genetic counseling after a diagnosis of congenital renal cysts.
Understanding the inheritance patterns and implications for family members.
Used to evaluate renal cysts in pediatric patients.
Indication for ultrasound and findings.
Pediatric specialists should ensure imaging is appropriate for age.
Accurate coding is essential for appropriate management, reimbursement, and understanding the genetic implications for the patient and family. It ensures that patients receive the necessary follow-up care and interventions.
