ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for Menetrier Disease, with classification details for clinicians, coders and patients.
Menetrier disease, also known as hypertrophic gastropathy, is a rare disorder affecting the stomach's inner lining. The ICD-10 code for Menetrier disease is K31.5. This code falls under the category of "Diseases of the Stomach and Duodenum" in the ICD-10 classification system. It specifically refers to "hypertrophic gastropathy" which encompasses Menetrier disease.
In the previous ICD-9 coding system, the code for Menetrier disease was 535.6. This code was part of the "Disorders of Function of Stomach" category. However, it's important to note that the ICD-9 system has been replaced by the more detailed ICD-10 system, which offers a broader range of diagnostic codes.
Menetrier disease is characterized by the enlargement of the stomach's rugae (folds) and excessive production of gastric mucous. It often leads to protein loss, hypoalbuminemia, and malabsorption. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and edema. While the exact cause of Menetrier disease is unknown, it is believed to involve abnormal signaling of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
Remember to consult a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for accurate coding and further information.
