Other medical procedures as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure (Y84)

ICD-10 code Y84 and its subcodes identify situations where various medical procedures cause abnormal patient reactions or later complications, without any immediate mishap during the procedure. These codes capture complications arising specifically from treatments like cardiac catheterization, kidney dialysis, radiological therapy, and others.

The ICD-10 code for abnormal reactions due to kidney dialysis (Y84.1) includes issues such as catheter obstructions, post-dialysis dementia, and skin lesions. For complications following radiotherapy and radiological procedures, Y84.2 covers a wide array of effects like radiation-induced skin disorders, tissue necrosis, hypothyroidism, and secondary cancers. This code is particularly helpful for coding delayed or latent adverse effects known by terms such as radiation dermatitis or radiation pneumonitis. Other specific codes include Y84.0 for cardiac catheterization reactions, Y84.3 for shock therapy complications, Y84.6 for urinary catheterization issues, and Y84.8 for miscellaneous medical procedure complications including infusion infections and air embolism. These codes guide precise documentation of treatment-related patient outcomes when no immediate procedural accident occurred.
