ICD10 code of Primary ciliary dyskinesia and ICD9 code

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the structure and function of cilia, tiny hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract, reproductive system, and other organs. PCD leads to impaired ciliary movement, resulting in various respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms.

In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Primary ciliary dyskinesia is Q34.8. This code falls under the category of "Other congenital malformations of respiratory system" (Q30-Q34), which includes various other respiratory conditions. The code Q34.8 specifically represents "Other specified congenital malformations of respiratory system," encompassing PCD among other rare respiratory malformations.

On the other hand, in the previous edition, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), the code for Primary ciliary dyskinesia was 757.399. This code belonged to the broader category of "Other specified anomalies of respiratory system" (757.0-757.9). However, it is important to note that as of October 1, 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding and have been replaced by ICD-10 codes.

It is vital for healthcare professionals to accurately assign the appropriate ICD-10 code for Primary ciliary dyskinesia when documenting and coding patient encounters. This ensures proper identification, tracking, and analysis of the condition for medical and research purposes.
