ICD10 code of Gastroparesis and ICD9 code

Gastroparesis is a medical condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying, which means that the muscles in the stomach do not function properly, leading to a slowdown or partial paralysis of the stomach. This condition can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and a feeling of early fullness when eating.

In the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Gastroparesis is assigned a specific code for easy identification and documentation. In the current version, ICD-10, the code for Gastroparesis is K31.84. This code falls under the category of "Other diseases of stomach and duodenum" (K31), and specifically refers to "Gastroparesis" (K31.84). ICD-10 codes are alphanumeric and provide a standardized way for healthcare professionals to communicate diagnoses.

In the previous version, ICD-9, Gastroparesis was assigned the code 536.3. The ICD-9 code system was widely used before the transition to ICD-10, which offers more detailed and specific codes.

It is important to note that ICD codes are used primarily for administrative and statistical purposes, allowing healthcare providers to track and analyze various conditions, treatments, and outcomes. These codes are not intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of a medical condition but rather serve as a tool for classification and billing.

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of Gastroparesis or any other medical condition.
