Agenesis of ureter

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A birth defect where one or both ureters are completely absent, preventing urine from draining from the kidney to the bladder.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify laterality (unilateral or bilateral) as this significantly impacts renal function
  • •Often associated with renal agenesis on the same side; review for additional coding
