Arteriovenous malformation of renal vessel
ICD-10 Q27.34 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation of renal vessel.
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the renal vessel is a congenital condition characterized by an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins in the kidney. This malformation can lead to various complications, including renal hemorrhage, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. AVMs may be asymptomatic or present with symptoms such as hematuria, flank pain, or abdominal swelling. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI, which can visualize the abnormal vascular connections. Treatment options may include surgical intervention, embolization, or monitoring, depending on the severity and symptoms. Understanding the implications of renal AVMs is crucial, especially in pediatric patients, as they may affect growth and development. Early detection and management are essential to prevent complications and ensure optimal outcomes.
Pediatric documentation should include growth parameters, developmental milestones, and specific symptoms related to renal function.
Common scenarios include a pediatric patient presenting with hematuria or hypertension, requiring imaging to assess for renal AVM.
Considerations include the impact of renal AVM on growth and development, as well as the need for multidisciplinary management.
Genetic documentation should include family history of vascular anomalies and any syndromic associations.
Genetic counseling may be needed for families with a history of congenital vascular malformations.
Considerations include the potential for hereditary syndromes that may predispose to AVMs.
Used when a renal AVM requires interventional treatment.
Document indications for embolization and imaging findings.
Interventional radiology may be involved in the procedure.
Common symptoms include hematuria, flank pain, hypertension, and abdominal swelling. Some patients may be asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.
