Renal failure following failed attempted term of pregnancy

This code signifies the development of renal failure as a direct complication after an unsuccessful attempt to terminate a pregnancy. It indicates that the kidney dysfunction is a sequela of the failed procedure, rather than an unrelated pre-existing condition.

Use this code when documentation clearly links acute or chronic renal failure to a failed attempted termination of pregnancy. This applies when the patient presents with kidney impairment that arose subsequent to and as a result of the unsuccessful procedure.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the failed attempted termination of pregnancy (O07.-).
• Ensure documentation specifies the type of renal failure (e.g., acute, chronic) if known, as further specificity may be required with an additional code.
• Do not use if the renal failure is pre-existing or unrelated to the failed procedure.
