Other specified injury of right renal vein, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a previously sustained injury to the right renal vein, excluding those specifically classified as laceration, puncture, or traumatic aneurysm. It signifies that the acute phase of the injury has passed, but the patient continues to experience issues directly attributable to the original trauma.

This code is appropriate when documenting conditions such as chronic right renal vein stenosis, persistent right renal vein thrombosis, or other ongoing functional impairments of the right renal vein that are a direct consequence of an earlier, resolved injury. It should be used for follow-up encounters when the sequela is being treated or evaluated, and the original acute injury is no longer present.

• Always assign an additional code to describe the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic thrombosis, stenosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past injury of the right renal vein.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should be used only when the residual effect of the injury is being treated or evaluated.
