Renal failure following incomplete spontaneous abortion
ICD-10 O03.32 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of renal failure following incomplete spontaneous abortion.
Renal failure following an incomplete spontaneous abortion is a serious obstetric condition that arises when a miscarriage occurs but not all products of conception are expelled from the uterus. This can lead to complications such as infection, hemorrhage, and renal failure due to the body's response to retained tissue. The incomplete nature of the abortion can cause significant physiological stress, leading to acute kidney injury as the body struggles to manage fluid balance and waste elimination. Clinicians must monitor renal function closely in these cases, as the risk of renal failure can escalate quickly. Emotional support is also crucial, as patients may experience grief and anxiety related to the loss of pregnancy, compounded by the physical complications of the incomplete abortion. Proper management includes thorough evaluation, potential surgical intervention to remove retained products, and supportive care to address both physical and emotional needs.
Detailed records of the patient's obstetric history, current pregnancy status, and any interventions performed.
Patients presenting with bleeding and cramping, requiring evaluation for possible miscarriage.
Ensure emotional support and counseling are documented, as they are critical in managing the patient's overall health.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including previous pregnancy losses and current complications.
Management of patients with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss presenting with incomplete abortion.
Focus on the implications of renal failure in the context of maternal-fetal health.
Used when surgical intervention is required for incomplete abortion.
Document indications for D&C, including the patient's clinical status and any complications.
Obstetricians must ensure that the procedure is justified based on the patient's condition.
Documentation should include the details of the incomplete abortion, any interventions performed, renal function tests, and emotional support provided to the patient.
