MEDICAL CODING IN CALICUT

   N42.31  (PROSTATIC INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA)                        A premalignant change arising in the prostatic epithelium, regarded as the most important and most likely precursor of prostatic adenocarcinoma. The  neoplasia   takes the form of an intra-acinar or ductal proliferation of secretory cells with unequivocal nuclear anaplasia, which corresponds to nuclear grade 2 and 3 invasive prostate cancer.    N42.31   is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reim bursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM  N42.31  became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of  N42.31  - other international versions of ICD-10  N42.31  may differ. Introduction: High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) is generally accepted to be a precursor lesion of prostate cancer. The likely...

    86.12  (ENDOMETRITIS FOLLOWING DELIVERY)                                              Endometritis is an inflammation or irritation of the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). It is not the same as endometriosis .   Endometriosis  occurs when cells from the lining of your womb (uterus) grow in other areas of your body. This can cause pain, heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods, and problems getting pregnant. CAUSES Every month, a woman's ovaries produce hormones that tell the cells lining the uterus to swell and get thicker. Your uterus sheds these cells along with blood and tissue through your vagina when you have your period. Endometriosis occurs when these cells grow outside the uterus in other parts of your body. This tissue may attach on your: Ovaries Fallopian tubes Bowel Rectum Bladder Lining of your pelvic area SYMPTOMS OF ENDOMETR...

 E75.22  (GAUCHER DISEASE) An autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of acid beta-glucosidase (glucosylceramidase) leading to intralysosomal accumulation of  glycosylceramide  mainly in cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system. The characteristic gaucher cells, glycosphingolipid-filled histiocytes, displace normal cells in bone marrow and visceral organs causing skeletal deterioration, hepatosplenomegaly, and organ dysfunction. There are several subtypes based on the presence and severity of neurological involvement. An inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. It results in the accumulation of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside in mononuclear cells in the bone marrow, liver, spleen, brain, and kidneys. Signs and symptoms include hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, neurologic disorders, lymphadenopathy, skeletal disorders, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of th...

  E88.01  (Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Defficiency)                                     An Alpha-1 carrier is a person who has one normal alpha-1 gene (M) and one defective alpha-1 gene (usually Z or S). Being a carrier is very common. It is believed that over 19 million people in the United States are carriers. Most Alpha-1 carriers are MZ or MS.  When someone with alpha 1 antitrypsin has a baby with someone who is not a carrier, any child they have will be a carrier, but will not be affected. If your partner is a carrier of α1AT deficiency your children will have a 50 per cent chance of being a carrier and a 50 per cent chance of having α1AT deficiency.   Alpha-1 antitrypsin  deficiency is a genetic condition, meaning it is transmitted through an abnormal gene from parent to child. This gene is an autosomal recessive gene, which means that if the mom and the dad bo...

  A74.89     (OTHER CHLAMYDIAL DISEASES)                                 A74. 89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.  Chlamydia infection is a common sexually transmitted infection in humans caused by the bacterium  Chlamydia trachomatis . The term Chlamydia infection can also refer to infection caused by any species belonging to the bacterial family Chlamydiaceae. C. trachomatis is found only in humans. Chlamydia is a major infectious cause of human genital and eye disease. Chlamydia infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide; it is estimated that about 1 million individuals in the United States are infected with chlamydia The bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydia. It can also cause other disorders, including: Pelvic inflammatory deseases Pneumonia Cervical infla...
