Sarcoidosis, unspecified. 2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code. D86.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Sarcoidosis is a disease that leads to inflammation, usually in your lungs, skin, or lymph nodes. It starts as tiny, grain-like lumps, called granulomas. Sarcoidosis can affect any organ in your body.
End stage renal disease. N18.6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM N18.6 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N18.6 - other international versions of ICD-10 N18.6 may differ.
Sarcoidosis of lung. Pulmonary sarcoidosis is characterized by sharply circumscribed granulomas in the alveolar, bronchial, and vascular walls, composed of tightly packed cells derived from the mononuclear phagocyte system. The clinical symptoms when present are dyspnea upon exertion, nonproductive cough, and wheezing.
End-stage sarcoidosis is typically characterised by severe interstitial fibrosis occurring along the bronchovascular bundles with cystic changes 1, 2. Chronic interstitial pneumonitis typically occurs in the early stages of sarcoidosis and is localised to the areas affected by granulomas 3–5.
Stage I: Lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) Stage II: Enlarged lymph nodes with shadows on chest X-ray due to lung infiltrates or granulomas. Stage III: Chest X-ray shows lung infiltrates as shadows, which is a progressive condition. Stage IV (Endstage): Pulmonary fibrosis or scar-like tissue found on a chest X-ray ...
Abstract. Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease, where for the abnormal localized collections of chronic inflammatory cells, the granuloma is cardinal, which may result in the formation of nodule(s) in the tissue of any organ of the body, with lungs and lymph nodes involvement being the most common.
Most people who have long-term sarcoidosis eventually improve and can have an active life. But in some cases, when long-term sarcoidosis gets worse over months or years, there can be permanent damage to the affected parts of the body.

Sarcoidosis – also called sarcoid – is a condition where inflamed cells clump together to make small lumps called granulomas. These granulomas can develop in any part of your body. They are most commonly found in the lungs and the lymph glands which drain the lungs.
Biopsies. Your doctor may order a small sample of tissue (biopsy) be taken from a part of your body believed to be affected by sarcoidosis to look for the granulomas commonly seen with the condition. For example, biopsies can be taken from your skin if you have skin lesions and from the lungs and lymph nodes if needed.
Sarcoidosis is a disease characterized by the growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) in any part of your body — most commonly the lungs and lymph nodes. But it can also affect the eyes, skin, heart and other organs.
Twenty percent to 30% of people have some permanent lung damage. For 10% to 30%, sarcoidosis is a chronic condition, with symptom progression despite treatment that has continued for more than two years. In some people, the disease may result in the deterioration of the affected organ.
Survival was 91.5% at 5 yrs, 84.1% at 10 yrs and 78.1% at 15 yrs, which was significantly poorer than for the general population (HR 3.6, 95% CI 2.9–4.3; p=0.013) (fig. 1). Comparison of survival between patients with radiographic stage IV disease and a matched French general population (n=142).
The major causes of death from sarcoidosis include respiratory, cardiac, neurologic, and hepatic involvement (8). Cardiac involvement represents a major cause of death in patients with active sarcoidosis, with one autopsy study identifying cardiac involvement as the cause of death in 14 of 28 patients (10).
Sarcoidosis is not a death sentence! In fact, once diagnosed, your doctor's first question will be to determine how extensive the disease is, and whether or not to treat at all – in many cases the choice will be to do nothing but watch carefully and allow the disease to go into remission on its own.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
A code also note instructs that 2 codes may be required to fully describe a condition but the sequencing of the two codes is discretionary, depending on the severity of the conditions and the reason for the encounter.
