Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation of your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

555.9, Crohn's disease of unspecified site (regional enteritis, not otherwise specified).
Summary. People with Crohn's disease experience flare-ups, during which symptoms like diarrhea, cramping, fever, fatigue, and joint pain are active. Flares can be triggered by factors like dietary changes, new medications, antibiotic use, stress, or infections. Sometimes, the cause of the flare-up is unknown.
ICD-10 code R10. 9 for Unspecified abdominal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of disorders that cause chronic inflammation (pain and swelling) in the intestines. IBD includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both types affect the digestive system. Treatments can help manage this lifelong condition.
Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly.
Potential symptoms include persistent diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, fever, rectal bleeding, fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

Crohn’s disease can occur at any age, but usually occurs between the ages of 15-35. The location of the Crohn’s disease, as well as any complication or manifestation, are important to code selection, as follows: K50.00 Crohn’s disease of small intestine without complication.

This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code K50.90 and a single ICD9 code, 555.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
K50.90 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of crohn's disease, unspecified, without complications. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Enteritis (entero- + -itis) is inflammation of the small intestine. It is most commonly caused by food or drink contaminated with pathogenic microbes. Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, dehydration, and fever. Inflammation of related organs of the gastrointestinal system are:
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
Ileitis is an inflammation of the ileum, a portion of the small intestine. Crohn's ileitis is a type of Crohn's disease affecting the ileum. Ileitis is caused by the bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis. Inflammatory bowel disease does not associate with Lawsonia intracellularis infection.
