Within the iodinated contrast type, there are two major subtypes: 1 Ionic high-osmolality contrast media (HOCM) 2 Non-ionic low-osmolality contrast media (LOCM) More ...
In addition, if you have an allergy to topical iodine cleaners or iodides, you're at no increased risk for reactions to RCM. Unfortunately, there is no test available to diagnose an allergy to RCM. Skin testing and radioallergosorbent testing (RAST) have not been shown to be helpful in the diagnosis.

ICD-10 code: T78. 4 Allergy, unspecified | gesund.bund.de.
A small number of people have a reaction to contrast more than 1 day after they receive contrast. Most people who get these delayed reactions have rashes, itchy skin, headaches, or nausea. If you have a delayed reaction to contrast, you may need treatment with skin lotions, steroids, and antihistamines.
ICD-10 code R68. 89 for Other general symptoms and signs is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
9: Fever, unspecified.
Public repositories show that up to 3% of the population has AGS (Alpha-gal info, 2020), while misdiagnosed or undiagnosed cases cannot be ruled out (Commins, 2020).
ANAPHYLACTIC. Anaphylactic reactions are serious, potentially life-threatening reactions associated with the administration of contrast material. Acute bronchospasm, profound hypotension, and severe urticaria may occur within minutes of administration of as little as 1 mL of contrast material.
The contrast material used in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) called gadolinium is less likely to produce an allergic reaction than the iodine-based materials used for x-rays and CT scanning.
Immediate reactions take place within an hour after injection of the contrast medium. These reactions can be mild (nausea, vomiting, mild urticaria, pallor), moderate (severe vomiting, extensive urticaria, dyspnea, rigor, laryngeal edema) or severe (pulmonary edema, cardiac arrhythmias or arrest, circulatory collapse).

ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.

Z91.041 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of radiographic dye allergy status. The code Z91.041 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#The code Z91.041 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.
Z91.041 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
Intravenous (IV) dye is contrast dye given through the vein. It is also known as radiocontrast media (RCM). It is used widely in the United States for radiological studies such as angiograms, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans.
These are reactions that may occur when you've been administered RCM: Mild reactions: These are relatively common , occurring in 3% to 15% of people receiving them. 1 Most of these reactions are mild and include a feeling of warmth, nausea, and vomiting. Generally, these symptoms occur only for a short period of time and don't require treatment.
Adverse reactions to RCM are fairly common, though allergies are rarer. Allergic reactions to RCM are not truly allergic in nature, meaning that there is no allergic antibody present that causes the reaction. Rather, RCM acts to directly release histamine and other chemicals from mast cells. BSIP / UIG / Getty Images.
An IV-dye allergy can only be diagnosed after symptoms have occurred. Otherwise, it's only possible to determine that a person is at increased risk of a reaction.
Any history of allergy increases your risk of having a reaction to contrast agents. However, your healthcare provider may be able to provide medication that you can take before a scan to prevent a reaction. While shellfish and seafood allergies are sometimes assumed to put you at particular risk for a reaction to iodine contrast, there doesn’t seem to be evidence that this is true. 7
In addition, if you have an allergy to topical iodine cleaners or iodides, you're at no increased risk for reactions to RCM.
Diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no test available to diagnose an allergy to RCM. Skin testing and radioallergosorbent testing (RAST) have not been shown to be helpful in the diagnosis. Small test doses are often not helpful, with reports of severe, life-threatening reactions occurring after small amounts of RCM given, ...
The mean interval between the time of anaphylaxis and skin test was 14.8 months (IQR 3.4–38.9). Skin test was performed in 41% of patients within one year since they experienced anaphylaxis. The remaining patients underwent skin test at the time when more than one year passed since anaphylaxis occurred (IQR 21.8–64.1).
We analyzed the data of RCM induced anaphylaxis monitored by an inhospital pharmacovigilance center at a tertiary teaching hospital from January 2005 to December 2012 and compared the clinical features and skin test results according to the accompanying hypotension.
A total number of contrast-enhanced CT scans during the study period was 632,513. A total of 104 cases of RCM related anaphylaxis were monitored during the study period. The incidence of contrast-induced anaphylaxis was 0.016%. As the total number of RCM use increased over the study period, the RCM related anaphylaxis also showed increasing tendency in number (Figure 1). The mean age was 55.6±13.1 years and 41.3% (43/104) of them were male (Table 1).
The median number of previous RCM exposures was 1.0 (interquartile range (IQR), 0.0–5.0) before the development of the first anaphylaxis. While anaphylaxis developed at the first exposure to RCM in 34.6% (36/104) of patients, 65.4% (68/104) of patients experienced anaphylaxis on repeated exposure to RCM and 21 of 68 (30.9%) had a milder form of hypersensitivity reactions in previous exposure to RCM.
Fifty-one patients with anaphylaxis followed the recommendation of allergists and underwent RCM skin test and the other 53 patients refused to perform skin test because they did not have a scheduled follow-up CT in the near future.
Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of radiocontrast media (RCM) induced hypersensitivity and can be life-threatening if profound hypotension is combined. With increased use of iodine based RCM, related hypersensitivity is rapidly growing.
The principle of post-anaphylaxis management is to avoid the causative agents. Although other imaging can be used as an alternative test in RCM hypersensitivity patients, CT imaging has its own advantage and unavoidable in some clinical situations. Although antihistamines and systemic steroids can be used as preventive measures, they cannot ensure complete prevention of RCM induced anaphylaxis [7], [8]. Currently, there are no established guidelines on premedication for RCM induced anaphylaxis [9]. Therefore, information on a causal agent and safer substitutes will be very useful for patients who need contrast enhanced CT scan despite previous history of RCM induced anaphylaxis. Until recently, diagnostic value of RCM skin test has been underestimated and there are only a limited number of studies which evaluated the sensitivity of RCM skin testing to various RCM [10]–[12].
