2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T86.19

Approximate Synonyms

The following list of clinical terms are approximate synonyms, alternative descriptions, or common phrases that might be used by patients, healthcare providers, or medical coders to describe the same condition. These synonyms and related diagnosis terms are often used when searching for an ICD-10 code, especially when the exact medical terminology is unclear. Whether you're looking for lay terms, similar diagnosis names, or common language alternatives, this list can help guide you to the correct ICD-10 classification.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Classifications group individual ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes into broader, clinically meaningful categories. These categories help simplify complex data by organizing related conditions under common clinical themes.

They are especially useful for data analysis, reporting, and clinical decision-making. Even when diagnosis codes differ, similar conditions can be grouped together based on their clinical relevance. Each category is assigned a unique CCSR code that represents a specific clinical concept, often tied to a body system or medical specialty.

Clinical Information

• Lymphocele

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

• Grade 1 Lymphocele, CTCAE|Grade 1 Lymphocele|Grade 1 Lymphocele

  asymptomatic; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated

• Grade 2 Lymphocele, CTCAE|Grade 2 Lymphocele|Grade 2 Lymphocele

  symptomatic; medical intervention indicated

• Grade 3 Lymphocele, CTCAE|Grade 3 Lymphocele|Grade 3 Lymphocele

  severe symptoms; invasive intervention indicated

• Lymphocele

  a cystic lesion containing lymph. it usually results from injury, gynecologic surgery, or urologic surgery.

• Lymphocele, CTCAE|Lymphocele|Lymphocele|Lymphocele

  a disorder characterized by a cystic lesion containing lymph.

• Microsphere-Mediated Lymphocele Prevention

  a surgical technique that uses microspheres at the site of a lymph node resection in an effort to prevent the formation of a lymphocele.

• Renal Lymphocele|Kidney Lymphocele|Kidney Lymphocele

  encapsulated collection of lymphatic fluid around a transplanted kidney.

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of transplanted organs and tissue (T86). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

• A - initial encounter
• D - subsequent encounter
• S - sequela

MS-DRG Mapping for ICD-10-CM Code T86.19

Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) are used to classify hospital cases for billing and healthcare management. They help standardize how hospitals and other providers are reimbursed for inpatient care. Patients are grouped based on their principal diagnosis into broader categories called Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs).

Once assigned to a DRG, the hospital receives a set payment for the patient’s care, regardless of the actual services provided. This fixed rate is intended to cover the typical cost of treating patients within that group. The payment amount depends on the DRG's relative weight, which reflects the expected complexity and cost of care based on the severity of the patient’s condition.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V43.0 applicable from 10/01/2025 through 09/30/2026.

Convert T86.19 to ICD-9-CM

Below are the ICD-9 codes that most closely match this ICD-10 code, based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs). This ICD-10 to ICD-9 crosswalk tool is helpful for coders who need to reference legacy diagnosis codes for audits, historical claims, or approximate code comparisons.

Patient Education

Kidney Transplantation

A kidney transplant is an operation that places a healthy kidney in your body. The transplanted kidney takes over the work of the two kidneys that failed, so you no longer need dialysis.

During a transplant, the surgeon places the new kidney in your lower abdomen and connects the artery and vein of the new kidney to your artery and vein. Often, the new kidney will start making urine as soon as your blood starts flowing through it. But sometimes it takes a few weeks to start working.

Many transplanted kidneys come from donors who have died. Some come from a living family member. The wait for a new kidney can be long.

If you have a transplant, you must take drugs for the rest of your life, to keep your body from rejecting the new kidney.
