sludge is a common term for crushed stones and are removed the same as calculi...correct coding would be the 43264 We also use 43264 for removal of sludge. I have a related question: What ICD-9 code are you all using to describe sludge?

Other specified diseases of biliary tract The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K83. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K83.
ICD-10 code K83. 1 for Obstruction of bile duct is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Sludge — and even tiny stones — may pass through the bile duct and cause typical gallbladder pain symptoms, or they may cause no symptoms at all. “The incidental finding of sludge on an X-ray [done for another reason] does not indicate the need for surgery,” Dr. Ponsky says.
Symptoms of biliary sludge include pain in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, particularly after a fatty meal. Biliary sludge can cause complications, including pain from obstruction of the bile ducts (biliary colic), inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), and inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis).
With the widespread use of abdominal imaging, an incidentally found dilated common bile duct (CBD) is a common radiographic finding. The significance of a dilated CBD as a predictor of underlying disease and long-term outcome have not been well elucidated.
The note in ICD-10 under codes B95-B97 states that 'these categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in disease classified elsewhere', so you would not use B96. 81 as a primary diagnosis, but as an additional code with the disease listed first.
Our physicians have used IDC-10 code F07. 81 as the primary diagnosis for patients presenting with post concussion syndrome.
Biliary obstruction. Bile duct obstruction is a blockage in the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. The biliary system is comprised of the organs and duct system that create, transport, store and release bile into the duodenum for digestion.
A bile duct stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the common bile duct. This is a tube that moves bile from the liver to the small intestine.

Ultrasound. Gallbladder sludge appears as a low amplitude homogeneous echoes, layering on the posterior wall, and frequently forming fluid-fluid level with anechoic bile above it. Sludge can get compacted forming a mass-like lesion referred to as tumefactive sludge 4: hypoechogenic well defined intraluminal mass.
Acute gallbladder disease, gallstones, polyps, and occasionally, gallbladder sludge, can be diagnosed with a CT scan. The scan is most often done when the patient is undergoing an initial workup in the emergency department, and the specific diagnosis is unclear.

Work on the Tenth Revision of the ICD started in September 1983 when a Preparatory Meeting on ICD-10 was convened in Geneva. The programme of work was guided by regular meetings of Heads of WHO Collaborating Centres for Classification of Diseases.
A classification of diseases may be defined as a system of categories to which morbid entities are assigned according to established criteria. There are many possible axes of classification and the one selected will depend upon the use to be made of the statistics to be compiled. A statistical classification of diseases must encompass ...
Acknowledgements . The periodic revision of the ICD has, since the Sixth Revision in 1948 , been coordinated by the World Health Organization. As the use of the classification has increased, so, understandably, has the desire among its users to contribute to the revision process.
K83.8 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other specified diseases of biliary tract. The code K83.8 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

Choledocholithiasis has been found in 4.6% to 18.8% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. The incidence of choledocholithiasis in patients with cholelithiasis increases with age. Cholelithiasis is more common in female patients, pregnant patients, older patients, and those with high serum lipid levels. Cholesterol stones are typically found in obese patients with low physical activity or patients that have recently intentionally lost weight. Black pigment stones are found in patients with cirrhosis, patients receiving total parental nutrition, and in those who have undergone an ileal resection. Nucleating factors, such as bacteria, are the source of the brown pigment primary common bile duct stones. [6][7]
There are no medications that will cure choledocholithiasis. However, a one-time dose of 50 mg to 100 mg rectal indomethacin can be used to prevent post-procedure pancreatitis if the pancreatic duct was manipulated during an ERCP. Antibiotics are typically not needed for choledocholithiasis unless the patient also has associated cholecystitis or cholangitis.
Cholecystectomy is not indicated for primary CBD stones. Other surgical options include open choledochotomy, transcystic exploration (a technique to clear the CBD of stones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy), percutaneous extraction, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The choice of treatment for choledocholithiasis found during surgery being done for cholelithiasis or cholecystitis includes intraoperative common bile duct exploration, intraoperative ERCP, and postoperative ERCP. The intraoperative procedure can be performed if consent was obtained preoperatively. Otherwise, ERCP is recommended at a later time, but during the same hospitalization.
