Donors of unspecified organ or tissue

This code identifies an individual who has donated an organ or tissue, but the specific type of organ or tissue donated is not documented or is unknown. It indicates a history of organ/tissue donation without further detail.

Use this code when a patient's medical record indicates a history of being an organ or tissue donor, but the specific organ or tissue (e.g., kidney, liver, bone marrow) is not specified. This is often seen in historical medical records or when the exact details of the donation are not pertinent to the current encounter.

• Avoid using this code if the specific organ or tissue donated is known; instead, use a more specific V59.x code.
• This code is for the donor, not the recipient.
• Typically used as a secondary diagnosis to provide context for a patient's medical history.
