Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome is a rare non-inherited gastrointestinal disorder characterized by multiple polyps in the digestive tract, hair loss, nail changes, and weight loss. The ICD10 code for Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome is K92.89. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD9 code for this syndrome as it was replaced by ICD10. Proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this condition.
Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome is a rare non-inherited disorder characterized by multiple polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, hair loss, nail abnormalities, and various other symptoms. In terms of coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for this condition. The ICD-10 code for Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome is K92.29. This code falls under the chapter "Diseases of the digestive system" (K00-K95) and specifically represents "Other specified diseases of the digestive system." It is important for medical professionals to assign the correct ICD-10 code when diagnosing and treating patients with this syndrome.
In contrast, the previous edition of the classification system, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), did not have a specific code for Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome. However, it is worth noting that the ICD-9 code for polyposis of the colon is 211.3, which may have been used as a general code in the absence of a more specific one.
Remember to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for accurate and up-to-date information regarding coding practices.
