Clinical Information
Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
an hereditary hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with variations in the gene that encodes complement factor h, or the related proteins cfhr1 and cfhr3. disease often progresses to chronic kidney failure without the prodromal symptoms of enterocolitis and diarrhea that characterize typical hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Atypical (nongenetic) hemolytic uremic syndrome
- Secondary hemolytic-uremic syndrome
Code First
Code FirstCertain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.

- COVID-19 (U07.1)
- complications of kidney transplant T86.1
- complications of heart transplant T86.2
- complications of liver transplant T86.4
Code Also
Code AlsoA "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
- , if applicable, any associated condition, such as:
- hypertensive emergency I16.1
- malignant neoplasm C00 C96
- systemic lupus erythematosus M32
Use Additional Code
Use Additional CodeThe “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
