Minor laceration of right kidney, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a previously sustained minor tear or cut to the right kidney. It signifies that the initial injury has healed, but there are ongoing issues directly attributable to that past trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a resolved minor laceration of the right kidney. This would include follow-up visits for chronic pain, scarring, or functional impairment directly linked to the old injury.

• Requires a seventh character "S" to denote sequela, indicating a late effect.
• Do not use for the initial treatment of the acute injury; this code is for residual conditions.
• Always link to an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the original injury's cause is known and relevant.
