Additional Info
Includes
- This code includes weakness from any cause that does not meet the criteria for any of Paraplegia or quadraplegia/tetraplegia, Monoplegia (paralysis of one limb only), Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side)
- generalized muscle weakness
- hemorrhage in to muscle, combine with Hemorrhage, NOS
Excludes:
- muscle problems for which specific codes are available:
Guidelines for Acquired neuromuscular weakness
- Many acutely ill (especially critically ill) patients develop/acquire weakness while in hospital
- But, there are a variety of different causes of such weakness, including related to problems with nerves (neuropathies) and muscles (myopathies). While there are some ways to distinguish among these (e.g. use of EMG/NCV testing) this is almost never done because other than avoidance, there are no real treatments for any of these, i.e. they're all treated with rehabilitation.
- Here are the specific diagnostic codes we have to cover these various causes:
- Acquired neuropathies:
- Acquired myopathies:
- Muscle, wasting/atrophy NOS -- this INCLUDES weakness/wasting/atrophy due to deconditioning
- Myopathy, drug-induced
- Muscle disorder/myopathy (primary or secondary), NOS
- Muscle, disorder NOS
- When it's not even clear whether the problem is due to muscle or nerves
