ICD-10-PCS Code For Urinary System: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 6ABT includes procedures performed to perfuse tissues or organs in the urinary system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when extracorporeal diffusion of a therapeutic fluid is applied to the urinary system as part of physiological system therapies. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 6ABT group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific perfusion procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy and payment determination.

Urinary System Perfusion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve perfusion of the urinary system using extracorporeal diffusion of a therapeutic fluid directed at organs or structures within the urinary system. These interventions are classified under the Physiological Systems body system and use the perfusion root operation to describe circulation of fluids through the urinary tissues. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific physiological therapy provided and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a therapeutic fluid is circulated through urinary system tissues or organs via extracorporeal diffusion as part of inpatient treatment. Assign these codes when clinical documentation explicitly indicates perfusion of the urinary system using the described extracorporeal method.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
6ABT0BZ	Perfusion of Urinary System Donor Organ, Single

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient is admitted for planned procurement of a living-donor kidney for transplantation; preoperative evaluation confirms donor suitability and the organ is prepared on the back table for transport. Extracorporeal perfusion of the donor renal tissue with a cold preservation solution is performed to maintain viability between procurement and implantation, necessitating inpatient procedure documentation. Typical codes: 6ABT0BZ
A deceased-donor organ recovery case where a donor kidney is removed in the operating room after brain death; the organ requires immediate extracorporeal diffusion perfusion with preservation fluid to minimize ischemic injury prior to allocation and shipment. The procedure is done urgently in the inpatient donor care setting to preserve urinary system tissue for transplant recipients. Typical codes: 6ABT0BZ
A donor kidney previously perfused develops concern for inadequate preservation on post-procurement inspection, prompting return to the sterile field for additional single-organ perfusion with therapeutic solution to salvage organ viability before transplantation. This inpatient intervention restarts controlled perfusion of the urinary system donor organ to optimize tissue condition before implantation. Typical codes: 6ABT0BZ
