Additional Info
- Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is damage to or disease affecting nerves, which may impair sensation, movement, gland or organ function, or other aspects of health, depending on the type of nerve affected.
- Polyneuropathy
- The causes of polyneuropathy can be divided into hereditary and acquired and are therefore as follows:
- Inherited - are hereditary motor neuropathies, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy
- Acquired - are diabetes mellitus, vascular neuropathy, alcohol abuse, and vitamin B12 deficiency
- Includes Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
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
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Dysarthria
- Peripheral nervous system disorder, NOS
- Neuropathy, peripheral, drug-induced
- Neuropathy (peripheral), alcohol-induced
- Critical illness polyneuropathy (peripheral)
- Guillain-Barre syndrome (Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP))
- Diabetes mellitus chronic complication: Neuropathy
