ICD-10-CM Code for Encephalopathy, unspecified G93. 40.
In an urgent hypertensive crisis, your blood pressure is extremely high, but your doctor doesn't suspect you have any damage to your organs. In an emergency hypertensive crisis, your blood pressure is extremely high and has caused damage to your organs.
Hypertensive encephalopathy refers to the transient migratory neurologic symptoms that are associated with the malignant hypertensive state in a hypertensive emergency. The clinical symptoms are usually reversible with prompt initiation of therapy.
Hypertensive microangiopathy, also referred to as chronic hypertensive encephalopathy, results from the sustained effects of elevated systemic blood pressure on the brain, leading to lipohyalinosis and Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms that are in turn prone to rupture resulting in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages.
If you, or someone you know, notices any new problems that might be symptoms of encephalopathy, call your doctor. This is especially important if you have an underlying problem, such as liver disease, because encephalopathy can become an emergency.
