Template:ICD10 Guideline Regional Ischemia: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:42, 15 July 2022

Ischemia is an entity that can be contributed to my a variety of causes, and in any organ or body region
When regional ischemia is present, you should use the ICD10 code for that body region, e.g. Limb ischemia (upper or lower), Mesenteric ischemia, acute
IF known, you should also link to the ischemia code the contributing cause or causes, which may include:
- Atherosclerosis of the relevant regional arterial tree -- e.g. Atherosclerosis of arteries of arms or legs
- Thromboembolism of the relevant regional arterial tree -- e.g. Thromboembolism/embolism, renal vein
- Compartment Syndrome
- Mechanical compression of a limb or its vessels (as most often occurs in trauma situations)
- Use of vasoconstrictor medications, for whatever indication
Of course, a patient may have any of these potential causes of ischemia without ischemia.
