Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by overlapping symptoms of various connective tissue diseases. The ICD10 code for MCTD is M35.1, while the corresponding ICD9 code is 710.9. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this condition.
The ICD-10 code for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is M35.1. This code falls under the category of "Systemic involvement of connective tissue" in the ICD-10 coding system. MCTD is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms from various connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, and polymyositis. It is important to note that MCTD has overlapping features of these conditions, making it a distinct diagnosis.
In the previous ICD-9 coding system, MCTD was not specifically identified as a separate condition. Instead, it was typically coded as a combination of the individual connective tissue diseases present in the patient, depending on their predominant symptoms. This lack of a specific code for MCTD in ICD-9 made it challenging to accurately capture and identify cases of this condition.
Please consult with a healthcare professional or coding expert for accurate and up-to-date coding information.
