== Prolonged Lying ==
== Coding guidelines ==
Beyond the  '''{{g | usual guidelines}}''', code this diagnosis if serum myoglobin is >= 800 ug/L and requires treatment.Pathogenic threshold for rhabdo renal damage is 800 ug/L.
 
== RE: Prolonged Lying ==
In the case of a prolonged lie:
In the case of a prolonged lie:
* if there is '''noticable''' trauma, code Rhabdomyolysis (Myoglobinemia) - '''Trauma''' 357.03
* if there is '''noticable''' trauma, & serum myoglobin level is >= 800 ug/L - '''code Rhabdomyolysis (Myoglobinemia) '''2nd to Trauma''' 357.03
* if there is '''no noticable''' trauma, code Rhabdomyolysis (Myoglobinemia) - '''Other''' 357.90
* if there is '''no noticable''' trauma, & serum myoglobin level is >= 800 ug/L - '''code Rhabdomyolysis (Myoglobinemia) '''2nd to Other''' 357.90
 
== Coding guidelines ==
Beyond the  '''{{g | usual guidelines}}''', code this diagnosis if serum myoglobin > 800 with treatment.
{{discussion}}
