Crohn's disease [regional enteritis] K50-. Use Additional. Use Additional Help. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.

Radiographic findings demonstrate a 10 cm narrowing in the terminal ileum, with a separation of bowel loops around the terminal ileum. The diagnosis is Crohn’s disease. Based on the documentation, the correct ICD-10-CM code is K50.00 Crohn’s disease of the small intestine without complications.
Crohn disease usually affects the small intestine and colon. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and weight loss. Crohn disease increases the risk of colorectal cancer and small intestine cancer. It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd).
It often affects the lower part of the small intestine called the ileum. Crohn's disease seems to run in some families. It can occur in people of all age groups but is most often diagnosed in young adults. Common symptoms are pain in the abdomen and diarrhea.

A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the digestive tract from mouth to anus, mostly found in the ileum, the cecum, and the colon. In crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the mucosa to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental.
It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as K50.

Crohn’s disease can occur at any age, but usually occurs between the ages of 15-35. The location of the Crohn’s disease, as well as any complication or manifestation, are important to code selection, as follows: K50.00 Crohn’s disease of small intestine without complication.
Crohn’s disease can occur at any age, but usually occurs between the ages of 15-35.

Crohn’s disease is a condition of chronic inflammation, potentially involving any location of the gastrointestinal tract, but most frequently affecting the end of the small bowel and the beginning of the large bowel. All layers of the intestine may be involved, and there can be normal, healthy bowel between patches of diseased bowel.
All layers of the intestine may be involved, and there can be normal, healthy bowel between patches of diseased bowel. Symptoms include persistent diarrhea (e.g., loose, watery, or frequent bowel movements), cramping, abdominal pain, fever, and, at times, rectal bleeding. Loss of appetite and weight loss also may occur.

There is some evidence that a virus or bacterium may trigger Crohn’s disease. When the immune system tries to fight off the invading microorganism, an abnormal immune response may cause the immune system to attack the cells in the digestive tract.
The complications are rectal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, fistula, or abscess. If the complications are not documented, you must report an unspecified code.
In some cases, Crohn disease can also cause inflammation affecting the joints, eyes, or skin.Intestinal blockage is a common complication of Crohn disease. Blockages are caused by swelling or a buildup of scar tissue in the intestinal walls.
The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. It may be due to an abnormal reaction by the body's immune system. It also seems to run in some families.
Crohn's Disease. Also called: Regional enteritis, Regional ileitis. Crohn's disease causes inflammation of the digestive system. It is one of a group of diseases called inflammatory bowel disease. Crohn's can affect any area from the mouth to the anus.
The inflamed tissues become thick and swollen, and the inner surfaces of the digestive system may develop open sores (ulcers).Crohn disease most commonly appears in a person's late teens or twenties, although the disease can begin at any age. Signs and symptoms tend to flare up multiple times throughout life.
However, inflammation can occur in any part of the digestive system, from the mouth to the anus.
Unlike Crohn disease, which can affect any part of the digestive system, ulcerative colitis typically causes inflammation only in the colon.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code K50.10 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
