Additional Info
- There is no absolute threshold for serum CPK or serum myoglobin which identifies rhabdo.
- You should code it if there is an acute renal injury felt to be due to it.
- Also code it if the choice was made to treat it (usually with rapid IV fluid administration, with or without bicarb, or dialysis).
- Other possible consideration includes serum myoglobin > 800 micrograms/L
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Muscle, disorder NOS -- this one includes muscle infection, inflammation, rupture, infarction, contracture, atrophy, strain, trauma
- Myoglobinuria -- this is one of the isolated lab abnormality codes, and thus should ONLY be coded when a cause for it is not known. So if rhabdo is the cause and is coded, do NOT code myoglobinuria.
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Code the cause, e.g.
- A drug or toxin
- One of the many codes in Category:Injury/poisoning that are of the template: "body part, muscles/tendons, wound/injury/trauma"
- see query ... further results
- For a prolonged lie, can consider: Coma NOS and Somnolence, stupor or obtundation
- others
