This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J43.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 J43.2 may differ. When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, it should be classified to the lower anatomic site (e.g. tracheobronchitis to bronchitis in J40 ).
Centrilobular emphysema, or centriacinar emphysema, is a long-term, progressive lung disease. It's considered to be a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Centrilobular emphysema primarily affects the upper lobes of the lungs. It's characterized by damage to your respiratory passageways.
Centrilobular emphysema is also called centriacinar emphysema. It is most common in people over the age of 50 with a history of smoking. The term centrilobular means that the disease occurs in the center of the functional units of the lungs, called the secondary pulmonary lobules.
Unilateral pulmonary emphysema [MacLeod's syndrome] J43. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J43. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
It just means that some areas of emphysema are seen on your chest CT scan. So emphysemic changes is the most accurate term to use in describing your chest CT scan. These changes, which include centrilobular emphysema, are typically seen with emphysema.
Panacinar emphysema seems to be more severe in the lower lobes, whereas centriacinar emphysema usually predominates in the upper lobes. Panacinar emphysema is associated with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency but can also be found in patients in whom no genetic abnormality has been identified.
There are four main types of emphysema, three of which are related to the anatomy of the lobules of the lung – centrilobular or centriacinar, panlobular or panacinar, and paraseptal or distal acinar and are not associated with fibrosis (scarring).
9 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified.
Pulmonary emphysema is a chronic lung condition. It's part of COPD, a group of lung diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing problems. It develops very slowly over time. It's most often caused by smoking.
ICD-10-CM Code for Emphysema, unspecified J43. 9.
: a condition characterized by air-filled expansions of body tissues specifically : a condition of the lung marked by abnormal enlargement of the alveoli with loss of pulmonary elasticity that is characterized especially by shortness of breath and may lead to impairment of heart action.
In emphysema, the inner walls of the lungs' air sacs (alveoli) are damaged, causing them to eventually rupture. This creates one larger air space instead of many small ones and reduces the surface area available for gas exchange. Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath.
Emphysema is a chronic lung condition in which the air sacs (alveoli) may be: Collapsed. Destroyed. Narrowed. Overinflated.
Types of emphysemaCentriacinar – Begins in the respiratory bronchioles and spreads mainly in the upper half of the lungs. ... Panacinar – Commonly resides in the lower half of the lungs and destroys the tissue of the air sacs, causing a distinctive, uniform enlargement of air spaces.More items...
Centrilobular emphysema appeared to be mainly a disease of the upper lobe and the apices within the upper and lower lobes. In contrast, panlobular emphysema was a more or less diffuse process within lobes and lungs with mild preferential involvement of the lower lobe.
Centrilobular nodules are usually caused by diseases in which the original lesion develops near bronchioles. Nodules may presents with a ground-glass appearance when there is involvement of the adjacent peribronchiolar airspaces (Fig. 3).
lungsThe centrilobular region, in context of the lungs and HRCT, refers to the central portion of the secondary pulmonary lobule, around the central pulmonary artery and bronchiole.
J43.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Centrilobular emphysema . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor airflow. It typically worsens over time. The main symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J43.2 and a single ICD9 code, 492.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
