AHRQ’s CCSR groups this code into broader clinical categories.
Clinical InformationClinical
Hyperphosphatemia
a condition of abnormally high level of phosphates in the blood, usually significantly above the normal range of 0.84-1.58 mmol per liter of serum.Anuria
absence of urine formation. it is usually associated with complete bilateral ureteral (ureter) obstruction, complete lower urinary tract obstruction, or unilateral ureteral obstruction when a solitary kidney is present.Uremia
a clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. it is usually the result of renal insufficiency. most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen catabolism, such as urea or creatinine. severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms.Uremic Toxins
biological solutes retained and accumulated due to kidney impairment that contribute to uremia/chronic kidney disease.Phosphates
inorganic salts of phosphoric acid.Ureter
one of a pair of thick-walled tubes that transports urine from the kidney pelvis to the urinary bladder.Melanuria
an indication of dark brown or black urine discoloration due to the presence of melanin or its precursors.Grade 1 Hyperphosphatemia, CTCAE|Grade 1 Hyperphosphatemia
laboratory finding only and intervention not indicatedGrade 2 Hyperphosphatemia, CTCAE|Grade 2 Hyperphosphatemia

severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization indicatedGrade 4 Hyperphosphatemia, CTCAE|Grade 4 Hyperphosphatemia
life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated (e.g., dialysis)Grade 5 Hyperphosphatemia, CTCAE|Grade 5 Hyperphosphatemia
deathHyperphosphatemia
abnormally high level of phosphate in the blood.Hyperphosphatemia, CTCAE|Hyperphosphatemia
a disorder characterized by laboratory test results that indicate an elevation in the concentration of phosphate in a blood.Anuria
absence of urine output.
Patient EducationClinical
Kidney Failure
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. But if the kidneys are damaged, they don't work properly. Harmful wastes can build up in your body. Your blood pressure may rise.

Questions About P96.0Overview
Is P96.0 (Other conditions originating in the perinatal period) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report congenital renal failure on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of P96.0?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, congenital renal failure converts to ICD-9-CM 779.89 (perinatal condition NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:
- The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
- The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
