Unspecified injury of right kidney, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late-effect complication stemming from an unspecified injury to the right kidney. The original injury itself is no longer acute, and the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that past trauma.

This code is appropriate when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, renal dysfunction, or other persistent problems in the right kidney that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, but now resolved, injury. It should be used when the specific nature of the original kidney injury was not documented or is unknown.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic kidney disease, hydronephrosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past right kidney injury.
• This code is for sequela only; do not use for acute or initial injury encounters.
