ICD10 code of Sjogren and ICD9 code

Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the inflammation and dysfunction of the exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands. This condition leads to dryness of the mouth (xerostomia) and eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), along with various other systemic manifestations.

In terms of medical coding, Sjogren's syndrome is classified under the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) coding systems.

The ICD-10 code for Sjogren's syndrome is M35.0. This code falls under the category of "Other systemic involvement of connective tissue" (M35) and specifically represents "Sicca syndrome [Sjogren]." It is important to note that there are additional codes available in the ICD-10 system to further specify the involvement of various organs and systems in Sjogren's syndrome.

On the other hand, the ICD-9 code for Sjogren's syndrome is 710.2. This code is found in the "Diffuse diseases of connective tissue" (710) category and specifically represents "Primary Sjogren's syndrome."

By utilizing these codes, healthcare professionals and medical coders can accurately document and identify cases of Sjogren's syndrome for proper medical record-keeping, billing, and statistical purposes.
