On-Demand Webinar Release: Flushing out Kidney Anatomy, Disease Processes, and ICD-10-CM Coding

ICD-10-CM diagnostic coding for the urinary system requires a strong grasp of urinary anatomy and disease processes. In this webinar, we will delve into the anatomy and pathophysiology associated with the urinary system and its impact on other body systems. This will be a springboard to address commonly miscoded conditions related to the kidneys and other parts of the urinary tract, including hypertensive chronic kidney disease, cardiorenal syndrome, and complications from renal transplant.

Objectives:

• Recognize key parts of urinary anatomy and function
• Apply code sequencing and instructional notes to coding scenarios
• Identify complications of kidney transplants
• Recognize how the kidneys play a role in hypertension
