Kidney donor

This code identifies an individual who has donated a kidney. It signifies their status as a kidney donor, irrespective of whether the donation was recent or occurred in the past. This status is important for ongoing health monitoring and potential future medical considerations.

This code is used when documenting the health status of a living kidney donor during follow-up appointments or for any medical encounter where their donor status is relevant to their care. It can also be applied to deceased donors if their medical records are being reviewed for research or other purposes.

• This is a status code, indicating a historical or current state, not an acute condition.
• Do not use this code for a patient receiving a kidney transplant; use the appropriate transplant status codes for the recipient.
• Consider sequencing this code with other relevant codes that describe any current health issues or follow-up care related to the donation.
