Family history of other disorders of kidney and ureter

This code indicates a patient has a family history of kidney or ureteral conditions that are not specifically classified elsewhere. This includes a genetic predisposition or familial pattern of kidney diseases, malformations, or functional impairments. It signifies an increased risk for the patient due to inherited factors.

Apply this code when a patient's medical record documents a family history of kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease (if not specified as autosomal dominant or recessive), hydronephrosis, or other non-specific kidney or ureteral disorders in a first-degree relative. This is often used for risk assessment and preventative care planning.

• Always document the specific kidney or ureteral disorder in the family history when known, even if not codable to a more specific family history code.
• Do not use this code if a more specific family history code for a particular kidney or ureteral disorder is available (e.g., family history of polycystic kidney disease).
• This code is for family history only; it does not indicate the patient currently has the condition.
