Y62: Failure of sterile precautions during surgical and medical care
Y62.2: During kidney dialysis or other perfusion
The ICD-10 code Y62.2 refers to medical conditions or complications that occur during kidney dialysis or other perfusion treatments. Kidney dialysis is a procedure performed to remove waste and excess water from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function properly. It’s commonly used in treating patients with advanced stage kidney disease or kidney failure. Possible complications during dialysis can include blood clot formation, low blood pressure, muscle cramping, infections, or an imbalance of minerals in the blood, such as potassium or calcium. They can present in a variety of ways depending on the specific complication, such as sudden weakness, changes in heartbeat, fever, or muscle cramps. The progression of these complications can vary widely and might affect different systems including the circulatory system, the muscular system, and the body's overall electrolyte balance.
