2008 ICD-9-CM Procedure 39.95

Hemodialysis
  • Device(s) which can substitute for normally functioning kidneys in cleansing the blood.
  • Extracorporeal ultrafiltration technique without hemodialysis for treatment of fluid overload and electrolyte disturbances affecting renal, cardiac, or pulmonary function.
  • Removal of certain elements from the blood based on the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane.
  • The combination of hemodialysis and hemofiltration either simultaneously or sequentially. Convective transport (hemofiltration) may be better for removal of larger molecular weight substances and diffusive transport (hemodialysis) for smaller molecular weight solutes.
  • Therapy for the insufficient cleansing of the BLOOD by the kidneys based on dialysis and including hemodialysis, PERITONEAL DIALYSIS, and HEMODIAFILTRATION.
