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
