ICD-10 Code A98.5 – Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A98.5 – Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome
What it is
A98.5 identifies hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, a viral illness that can cause bleeding and kidney involvement. Use it when the record clearly documents this diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical references describe fever, bleeding tendencies, and renal impairment, but you should code only when the condition is explicitly documented.
When to use this code
Use A98.5 when the provider diagnoses hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the current encounter. It may appear in confirmed infectious disease, inpatient, or problem-list documentation. If the note only says “viral fever” or “hemorrhagic illness,” check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified fever, nonspecific bleeding, or kidney disease without documented hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Check documentation if the diagnosis is uncertain.
Coding tip
Code A98.5 only from a clear provider diagnosis, not from isolated symptoms or suspected infection.
