A type of permanent damage to muscles and nerves that results from prolonged lack blood flow to those tissues. It is characterized by shortening and stiffening of the muscles.
Nontraumatic, exertional rhabdomyolysis can occur in extreme exertion or normal physical exertion in addition to risk factors that impair muscle oxygenation, ultimately leading to muscle cell death. One of these risk factors includes individuals with the sickle cell trait (SCT).
If the doctor documented that the patient clearly would not have been admitted for the overdose and clearly was only being admitted for the Rhabdomyolysis/AKI, then you would have additional support for placing Rhabdomyolysis or AKI as the principal diagnosis.
Abstract. Crush syndrome or traumatic rhabdomyolysis constitutes the systemic changes seen after crush injury, i.e. the damages seen after a prolonged period of pressure on a muscle group.
ICD-10-CM Code for Rhabdomyolysis M62. 82.
Rhabdomyolysis may be caused by injury or any other condition that damages skeletal muscle. Problems that may lead to this disease include: Trauma or crush injuries. Use of drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, statins, heroin, or PCP.
Physiological and anatomical studies show that irreversible muscle cell damage starts after 3 h of ischemia and is nearly complete at 6 h. These muscle changes are paralleled by progressive microvascular damage.
Common complications of rhabdomyolysis include very high levels of potassium in the blood, which can lead to an irregular heartbeat or cardiac arrest and kidney damage (which occurs in up to half of patients). About one in four also develop problems with their liver.
Rhabdomyolysis is a serious clinical syndrome that results from damage to skeletal muscles. Common causes include drugs, crush injuries, seizures, heat, exertion, and infection. Viral infections, particularly Influenza A, have been recognized as a cause of rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdomyolysis may also result from the use of prescription and nonprescription medications, including the following : Statins (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors) Antihistamines (particularly in children) Salicylates.
ICD-10-CM Code for Rhabdomyolysis M62. 82.
In rhabdomyolysis, the CK levels can range anywhere from 10 000 to 200 000 or even higher. The higher the CK levels, the greater will be the renal damage and associated complications.
Nursing Diagnosis: Fluid Volume Deficit related to injury of skeletal muscles due as evidenced by temperature of 39.0 degrees Celsius, tea-colored urine output, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating, and blood pressure of 89/58.
The only way to know you have rhabdo is through a blood test that checks for the presence of a muscle protein, creatine kinase (CK), in the blood. If you suspect that you may have rhabdo, ask to have your CK levels checked. Symptoms can appear any time after muscle injury.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T79.6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Effective October 1, 2003, new codes have been created to separately identify rhabdomyolysis. Prior to this change, rhabdomyolysis was coded to 728.89, Other disorders of muscle, ligament and fascia, Other. Due to the severity of this condition, the Coding Clinic Editorial Advisory Board requested that a unique code be created for rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis may result from a large variety of diseases, trauma, or toxic insults to skeletal muscle. It may result in the potentially life-threatening complication of myoglobinuric acute renal failure. Associated problems can also occur including cardiac arrest, hyperkalemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and compartment syndrome. Rhabdomyolysis results...
Rhabdomyolysis may result from a large variety of diseases, trauma, or toxic insults to skeletal muscle. It may result in the potentially life-threatening complication of myoglobinuric acute renal failure. Associated problems can also occur including cardiac arrest, hyperkalemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and compartment syndrome. Rhabdomyolysis results from muscle necrosis and release of creatine phosphokinase (CK) and myoglobin into the circulation.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
T46- Poisoning by , adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system
A 94-year-old patient presented after being down on the floor for 8 hours. The patient reported falling down steps after feeling weak. The provider’s final diagnostic statement listed “Rhabdomyolysis, dehydration and acute kidney injury.” What is the appropriate code assignment for rhabdomyolysis for this patient, traumatic or unspecified? ...

When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), first assign the appropriate code from categories T36-T50. The poisoning codes have an associated intent as their 5th or 6th character (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined. If the intent of the poisoning is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent. The undetermined intent is only for use if the documentation in the record specifies that the intent cannot be determined. Use additional code (s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
My rationale is that ICD-10 conventions themselves supersede even the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) guidelines in the hierarchy of coding. The UHDDS definitions are the standards for interpreting the guidelines, but I do not believe they can directly contradict an instructional note in the ICD-10 system itself which includes those “code first” type of instructions.
If the doctor documented that the patient clearly would not have been admitted for the overdose and clearly was only being admitted for the Rhabdomyolysis/AKI, then you would have additional support for placing Rhabdomyolysis or AKI as the principal diagnosis. However, the way the physician listed the diagnoses in his or her discharge summary, I don’t think you are on solid grounds for making that suggestion.
A: In this case, the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting suggest that the poisoning from the heroin overdose should be sequenced as the principal diagnosis. The remaining sequela that came about after the overdose would be listed as secondary diagnoses. Make sure the AKI gets included in the final code set and doesn’t get skipped because it was omitted from the discharge summary.
