Cystic dilatation of collecting ducts
ICD-10 Q61.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cystic dilatation of collecting ducts.
Cystic dilatation of collecting ducts is a congenital malformation characterized by the abnormal enlargement of the collecting ducts within the kidneys. This condition can lead to impaired renal function and may be associated with other urinary tract anomalies. It is often identified through imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, particularly in pediatric patients. The cystic dilatation can result from developmental abnormalities during nephrogenesis, which may also be linked to genetic syndromes or chromosomal abnormalities. Patients may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, or hypertension. Management typically involves monitoring renal function and may require surgical intervention if significant obstruction or complications arise. Understanding the relationship between cystic dilatation and other congenital conditions, such as renal agenesis or polycystic kidney disease, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Pediatric documentation should include growth parameters, developmental milestones, and any associated symptoms or complications. Detailed family history is also essential.
Common scenarios include newborns presenting with abdominal distension or urinary issues, and older children with recurrent urinary tract infections.
Consideration must be given to the child's overall health, potential for growth impairment, and the need for multidisciplinary management.
Genetic documentation should include family history of congenital anomalies, results of genetic testing, and any syndromic associations.
Scenarios may involve genetic counseling for families with a history of renal anomalies or syndromic presentations.
Genetic factors influencing the condition should be documented, including any chromosomal abnormalities that may be present.
Used to evaluate renal structure and function in patients with suspected cystic dilatation.
Document indications for the ultrasound and findings related to cystic changes.
Pediatric specialists should ensure that the ultrasound is interpreted in the context of the child's overall health.
Common symptoms include abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and hypertension. Some patients may be asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during imaging for other reasons.
