I70.213ICD-10 code I70. 213 for Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with intermittent claudication, bilateral legs is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Claudication is pain in the legs or arms that occurs while walking or using the arms. The pain is caused by too little blood flow to the legs or arms. Claudication is usually a symptom of peripheral artery disease, in which the arteries that supply blood to the limbs are narrowed.Mar 2, 2022
PAD, PVD, and intermittent claudication, not otherwise specified are classified to ICD-9-CM code 443.9, which also includes peripheral angiopathy, not otherwise specified and spasm of artery.
Claudication is a sensation of leg discomfort that comes on with a predictable amount of exertion and typically resolves within 5 minutes of rest. The discomfort may be unilateral or bilateral and may involve the buttocks, hips, thighs, or calves, depending on the anatomic location of arterial blockages.
The two diseases differ in several key ways. PAD means you have narrowed or blocked arteries -- the vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood as it moves away from your heart to other parts of your body. PVD, on the other hand, refers to problems with veins -- the vessels that bring your blood back to your heart.Oct 27, 2021
Peripheral Artery Disease (ICD-10 code I73. 9) is estimated to affect 12 to 20% of Americans age 65 and older with as many as 75% of that group being asymptomatic (Rogers et al, 2011).
Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with intermittent claudication, unspecified extremity. I70. 219 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

The ankle brachial index, or ABI, is a simple test that compares the blood pressure in the upper and lower limbs. Health care providers calculate ABI by dividing the blood pressure in an artery of the ankle by the blood pressure in an artery of the arm. The result is the ABI.
In most cases neurogenic claudication is bilateral, i.e. symmetrical.
Although symptoms are frequently unilateral, most people with claudication have bilateral disease and revascularising one leg often unmasks previously asymptomatic disease in the other leg.Jan 25, 2021
