The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
Anasarca is a medical condition that leads to general swelling of the whole body. It happens when your body tissues retain too much fluid due to several reasons. It differs from other types of edema that affect one or two parts of the body. The condition is also known as extreme generalized edema or massive edema.

Many imaging studies are ordered because the patient is experiencing pain. Once ICD-10 is implemented on October 1 of next year, radiology coders will need to be ready to assign the appropriate codes for these studies. In this article we’ll give you a run-down of how pain is classified in ICD-10, as well as the rules for sequencing the pain codes.
Abdominal tenderness (R10.81-): Tenderness is abnormal sensitivity to touch. While pain is a symptom that the patient reports, tenderness is a reaction that the physician observes while examining the patient’s abdomen.
