Complications of transplanted organs and tissue (T86)

The T86 section of ICD-10-CM codes covers complications arising from transplanted organs and tissues. These codes track a variety of transplant-related issues such as rejection, infection, failure, and other problems specific to different types of transplants, including bone marrow, kidney, heart, lung, liver, intestine, skin grafts, corneal transplants, and more.

This code range is used to specify complications attributable to transplanted organs, helping healthcare providers and coders identify exact transplant issues. For example, the T86.01 code addresses bone marrow transplant rejection, often referred to as "accelerated rejection" or "acute rejection" of bone marrow transplant. Similarly, T86.11 designates kidney transplant rejection, encompassing terms such as "renal transplant rejection" and different rejection severity grades. Infection-related complications are also captured, like T86.13 for kidney transplant infection and T86.23 for heart transplant infection. Additionally, this section includes unspecified and other complication codes to cover less common or unspecified problems, ensuring precise documentation. Using the ICD-10 code for complications of transplanted organs helps in detailed clinical characterization and accurate coding of diverse transplant-related disorders.

Instructional Notations

Use Additional Code

The “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.

  • code to identify other transplant complications, such as:
  • graft-versus-host disease D89.81
  • malignancy associated with organ transplant C80.2
  • post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders PTLD D47.Z1

Clinical Terms

The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.

Graft Rejection

An immune response with both cellular and humoral components, directed against an allogeneic transplant, whose tissue antigens are not compatible with those of the recipient.

Limbic Encephalitis

A paraneoplastic syndrome marked by degeneration of neurons in the LIMBIC SYSTEM. Clinical features include HALLUCINATIONS, loss of EPISODIC MEMORY; ANOSMIA; AGEUSIA; TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY; DEMENTIA; and affective disturbance (depression). Circulating anti-neuronal antibodies (e.g., anti-Hu; anti-Yo; anti-Ri; and anti-Ma2) and small cell lung carcinomas or testicular carcinoma are frequently associated with this syndrome.

Lymphocele

Cystic mass containing lymph from diseased lymphatic channels or following surgical trauma or other injury.

Mastectomy

Surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts.

Seroma

Tumor-like sterile accumulation of serum in a tissue, organ, or cavity. It results from a tissue insult and is the product of tissue inflammation. It most commonly occurs following MASTECTOMY.
