Transplanted organ and tissue status (Z94)

The Z94 ICD-10 code section is used to document the status of patients who have received transplanted organs or tissues. It helps healthcare providers and coders specify the type of transplant a person has, such as kidney, heart, lung, liver, or bone marrow, ensuring precise medical record-keeping for transplant follow-up and care.

This section covers a range of transplanted organ and tissue statuses, from Z94.0 for kidney transplant status; which includes conditions like acquired cystic disease of the transplanted kidney and postoperative hypertension; to Z94.81 for bone marrow transplant status and Z94.7 for corneal transplant status. Synonyms such as "history of renal transplant" or "heart recipient" correspond directly with these codes, aiding coders in choosing the correct ICD-10 code for patients with specific transplant histories. Codes like Z94.83 (pancreas transplant status) and Z94.89 (other transplanted organ and tissue status) cover less common transplants, increasing coding accuracy. Using the appropriate ICD-10 code for transplanted organ and tissue status ensures clear communication about a patient’s transplant history and current monitoring needs.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • organ or tissue replaced by heterogenous or homogenous transplant

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

  • complications of transplanted organ or tissue - see Alphabetical Index

Type 2 Excludes

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

  • presence of vascular grafts Z95
