Renal failure following ectopic and molar pregnancy

This code identifies acute or chronic renal dysfunction that develops as a complication after an ectopic pregnancy (e.g., tubal, ovarian) or a molar pregnancy (hydatidiform mole). It signifies a direct causal link between the pregnancy complication and the subsequent kidney impairment.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states renal failure (acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease exacerbation, etc.) occurring as a sequela of a previously managed or ongoing ectopic or molar pregnancy. Supporting documentation should specify the type of pregnancy and the onset or worsening of renal function.

• Always sequence this code after the code identifying the specific ectopic or molar pregnancy (e.g., O00.-, O01.-).
• Do not use this code for renal failure due to unrelated causes during or after these pregnancies; ensure causality is documented.
• Specify the type and stage of renal failure with an additional code from category N17.- or N18.-.
