Abstract:

The field of Interventional Nephrology has matured and expanded over the last decade. The American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology (ASDIN) has recognized the need for standardization and uniformity in coding of interventional procedures on dialysis access. After extensive study, an ASDIN committee developed a coding manual in 2004 with revisions in 2005 and 2006, which is available to ASDIN members through the ASDIN web site. This article comprises a brief overview of appropriate coding for access related procedures and contrasts the ASDIN recommendations with a recent interventional radiology generated approch.
