Erosion of graft of urinary organ, sequela

This code describes the long-term consequences of a graft erosion affecting any part of the urinary system. It indicates that the initial erosion has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications directly attributable to that past event. This could involve chronic inflammation, scarring, or functional impairment.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues directly resulting from a previously eroded urinary organ graft, where the acute erosion itself is no longer active. Examples include chronic pain, recurrent infections, or urinary obstruction due to scarring that developed after the graft erosion. This code is appropriate for follow-up care related to the sequelae.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the exact nature of the sequela (e.g., urinary obstruction, chronic cystitis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior graft erosion.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning it's used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of a previous injury or disease.
