Traumatic anuria, subsequent encounter

This code signifies the development of anuria (absence of urine production) that is directly caused by a physical injury, and the patient is receiving follow-up care for this condition. It indicates that the initial treatment for the traumatic anuria has already occurred, and the current encounter is for continued management or monitoring.

Use this code for encounters where a patient is being seen for ongoing management of anuria that resulted from a trauma, such as a crush injury, severe blunt force trauma to the kidneys, or other injuries leading to acute kidney failure with anuria. This applies to visits for dialysis, medication adjustments, or monitoring of renal function after the initial acute phase of treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the anuria to a specific traumatic event.
• This "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for anuria due to non-traumatic causes or for the initial acute treatment phase.
