Failed attempted abortion complicated by renal failure

This code signifies a medical complication arising from an unsuccessful attempt to terminate a pregnancy, specifically when the patient develops renal failure as a direct result. It indicates that the abortion procedure itself was not completed, and the patient subsequently experienced kidney dysfunction.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a failed attempted abortion and explicitly links the subsequent development of acute or chronic renal failure to this event. This typically applies to cases where the patient presents with symptoms of kidney impairment following an incomplete or unsuccessful abortion procedure.

• Ensure documentation specifies "failed attempted abortion" and not a completed abortion with complications.
• Verify that renal failure is directly attributed to the failed abortion attempt.
• Code any underlying cause for the attempted abortion (e.g., medical indication) as an additional diagnosis.
