Mr. Jones had a left kidney transplant five months ago and is now admitted for assessment after his creatinine levels were found high on the follow-up check-up. The biopsy reveals chronic rejection syndrome. Select the appropriate ICD-10 code for this case.

  1. T86.21
  2. T86.31
  3. T86.11
  4. T86.41
Explanation
Answer: C 

T86.11 is the appropriate code for this case because it is used to code for kidney transplant rejection, both acute and chronic. 

Option A is not correct because T86.21 is used to code for heart transplant rejection. 

Option B is not correct because T86.31 is used to code for heart-lung transplant rejection. 

Option D is not correct because T86.41 is used to code for liver transplant rejection.
