• Q61.3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
• The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Q61.3 became effective on October 1, 2020.
• This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q61.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 Q61.3 may differ.

• Congenital cystic kidney disease
• Multiple congenital cysts of kidney
• Polycystic kidney disease

• A usually autosomal dominant and less frequently autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by the presence of numerous cysts in the kidneys leading to end-stage renal failure. The autosomal dominant trait is associated with abnormalities on the short arm of chromosome 16. Symptoms in patients with the autosomal dominant trait usually appear at middle age and include abdominal pain, hematuria, and high blood pressure. Patients may develop brain aneurysms and liver cysts. Patients with the autosomal recessive trait present with progressive renal failure early in life and symptoms resulting from hepatic fibrosis. The autosomal recessive trait is associated with abnormalities of chromosome 6. Polycystic kidney disease may also result as a side effect in patients on renal dialysis.
• Hereditary diseases that are characterized by the progressive expansion of a large number of tightly packed cysts within the kidney; there is an autosomal recessive form appearing in childhood and a later appearing autosomal dominant form; a similar acquired disease sometimes accompanies end-stage renal disease.
• Hereditary diseases that are characterized by the progressive expansion of a large number of tightly packed cysts within the kidneys. They include diseases with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance.

• Q61.3 is considered exempt from POA reporting.
