I70. 213 - Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with intermittent claudication, bilateral legs | ICD-10-CM.
The main cause of intermittent claudication is a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD). That condition happens with atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of a wax-like substance called plaque on the inside of your arteries. As that buildup gets worse, there's less room for blood to flow through those arteries.
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.
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.
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 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70.
How is it diagnosed? The diagnosis of intermittent claudication is based on a classic history of cramping muscle pain that occurs after the same degree of exercise and which is quickly relieved by rest.
Unilateral intermittent claudication of the left lower extremity.
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.
The most common types of claudication are:Vascular claudication: This is usually a symptom of serious blood flow problems, especially peripheral artery disease.Neurogenic claudication: This is caused by problems with your spine and nervous system.
Claudication is pain you feel when your leg muscles don't get enough blood while you exercise. It's also known as intermittent claudication. It's is a sign of atherosclerosis, which means plaque has built up in the arteries in your legs and is causing blockages. This makes it harder for blood to get through.
Intermittent Claudication is caused by narrowing or blockage in the main artery taking blood to your leg (femoral artery). This is due to hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). The blockage means that blood flow in the leg is reduced.
It's pretty simple, actually: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the name of one specific disease, a condition that affects only arteries, and primarily the arteries of the legs. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a generic “umbrella term” that describes a large number of circulatory diseases.
Intermittent claudication of right lower limb co-occurrent and due to atherosclerosis
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70.211 became effective on October 1, 2021.
however, the term "claudication" itself is not listed under the ICD 10 Diabetes "with" manifestation list. 5. The term "claudication" is not considered a "peripheral angiopathy" and would not be linked to the DM type II based upon causal relationship.
Diabetes type II is documented in the patient assessment. 3. There are no medications or test results to support peripheral angiopathy/peripheral vascular disease. 4. Claudication indexes to I 73.9, and is considered as a symptom of Peripheral Vascular Disease or PVD.
While claudication is not specifically mentioned in the Index as a diabetic complication, "intermittent claudication" is a synonymous term under I73.9 for peripheral angiopathy (which is listed in the index) You must log in or register to reply here.
