Fibromuscular dysplasia is a medical condition characterized by abnormal growth and development of the walls of certain arteries. It can lead to narrowing, bulging, or twisting of the affected arteries, causing reduced blood flow to various organs. The ICD10 code for Fibromuscular dysplasia is I77.1. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD9 code for this condition as it is not included in the ICD9 classification system.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a medical condition characterized by abnormal cell growth in the walls of arteries, leading to narrowing and weakening of blood vessels. The ICD-10 code for fibromuscular dysplasia is I77.1. This code falls under the category of "Other disorders of arteries and arterioles" in the ICD-10 coding system.
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for fibromuscular dysplasia is 447.6. This code is found within the "Other specified disorders of arteries and arterioles" category in the ICD-9 coding system.
It's important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, so healthcare providers now primarily use the ICD-10 coding system.
Fibromuscular dysplasia can affect various arteries in the body, including those supplying blood to the kidneys, brain, and legs. It can lead to symptoms such as high blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, and leg pain. Proper coding of this condition helps healthcare professionals accurately document and track its prevalence and impact on patients.
