Obesity, unspecified. E66.9 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 E66.9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E66.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 E66.9 may differ.
This suggests that obesity counteracts the promotive effects of menopause on IHD. On the other hand, although obesity is not a direct risk factor for IHD, 37, 38 it causes elevated blood pressure 39 and hypercholesterolemia 40 and, therefore, can be deemed an indirect coronary risk factor.
Obesity raises the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, the most common causes of kidney disease. Even if you don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure, obesity itself may promote kidney disease and quicken its progress. Pregnancy problems. Overweight and obesity raise the risk of health problems that may occur during pregnancy.
ICD-10 code E66. 2 for Morbid (severe) obesity with alveolar hypoventilation is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is a respiratory consequence of morbid obesity that is characterized by alveolar hypoventilation during sleep and wakefulness. The disorder involves a complex interaction between impaired respiratory mechanics, ventilatory drive and sleep-disordered breathing.
ICD-10 code G47. 35 for Congenital central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
E66. 01 is morbid (severe) obesity from excess calories.
Definition. Primary alveolar hypoventilation is a rare disorder in which a person does not take enough breaths per minute. The lungs and airways are normal.
Hyperventilation — Alveolar hyperventilation is present when alveolar ventilation is increased out of proportion to carbon dioxide production and the arterial tension of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) decreases below the normal range (<36 mmHg, or <4.8 kPa).
Therefore, chronic hypoventilation syndromes are characterized by: Diminishment of the minute ventilation, i.e., reductions of the tidal volume or breathing frequency; Elevation of the PaCO2 >45 mmHg; pH level in a normal range and an increase of HCO3− (metabolic compensation).
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a disorder that affects normal breathing. People with this disorder take shallow breaths (hypoventilate), especially during sleep, resulting in a shortage of oxygen and a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood.
When someone breathes too slowly or too shallowly, it's called hypoventilation. It leads to low oxygen levels and high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. Hypoventilation may be caused by lung problems that obstruct the lower airways, such as emphysema, cystic fibrosis, or bronchitis.
For patients with provider documentation identifying “morbid” obesity, the code E66. 01 (morbid [severe] obesity due to excess calories) can be assigned even if the BMI is not greater than 40, per the Coding Clinic.
Defining Obesity Individuals are usually considered morbidly obese if their weight is more than 80 to 100 pounds above their ideal body weight. A BMI above 40 indicates that a person is morbidly obese and therefore a candidate for bariatric surgery.
