Obstructive jaundice is a specific type of jaundice, where symptoms develop due to a narrowed or blocked bile duct or pancreatic duct, preventing the normal drainage of bile from the bloodstream into the intestines.
Background: Obstructive jaundice is believed to be characterized by abnormalities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), rather than aspartate transaminase (AST).
ICD-10-CM Code for Obstruction of bile duct K83. 1.
Endoscopic stenting is sometimes necessary as a temporary measure to relieve the bile duct obstruction and clear any bacterial infection before definitive surgery. Thereafter, laparoscopic (keyhole surgery) cholecystectomy is advised to remove the gallbladder, from which most gallstones originate from.
Obstructive jaundice is not a disease in itself but a symptom of an underlying condition involving the liver, the gallbladder or the pancreas. It will usually require surgical intervention, and is also known as surgical jaundice.
The most common etiology of obstructive jaundice in this study was choledocholithiasis.
If your blood test results suggest biliary obstruction, your doctor may confirm the diagnosis using:Ultrasound.Computed tomography.Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include:Cysts of the common bile duct.Enlarged lymph nodes in the porta hepatis.Gallstones.Inflammation of the bile ducts.Narrowing of the bile ducts from scarring.Injury from gallbladder surgery.Tumors of the bile ducts or pancreas.More items...•
Biliary and Pancreatic Ducts The small tubes that carry bile between the liver, gallbladder and small intestine are called biliary or bile ducts. The pancreatic duct connects the pancreas to the common bile duct.
Obstructive or surgical jaundice is different from medical jaundice. Patients with medical jaundice will have yellowing of the skin, without dark urine or light-coloured stools. Medical jaundice can be related to: Hepatocellular jaundice - caused by a liver condition such as hepatitis and liver cirrhosis; and.
There are three main types of jaundice: pre-hepatic, hepatocellular, and post-hepatic.
In obstructive jaundice (both intrahepatic cholestasis and extrahepatic obstruction) the serum bilirubin is principally conjugated. Conjugated bilirubin is water soluble and is excreted in the urine, giving it a dark colour (bilirubinuria).
Common symptoms of jaundice are yellow skin and white of eyes, dark coloured body fluids (urine and stool). If jaundice along with severe abdominal pain, blood vomit, blood in stool, change in mental function, fever or tendency to bleed easily are cause of concern.
There are mainly 3 types of jaundice – Prehepatic, hepatic, posthepatic.
ICD 10 Codes for jaundice are located in different chapters in ICD book. ICD 10 Code for Neonatal jaundice are found in chapter 16 – conditions originating in perinatal period, code range P00 – P96
Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are: 1 Adhesions or scar tissue that forms after surgery 2 Foreign bodies (objects that are swallowed and block the intestines) 3 Gallstones (rare) 4 Hernias 5 Impacted stool 6 Intussusception (telescoping of one segment of bowel into another) 7 Tumors blocking the intestines 8 Volvulus (twisted intestine)
The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary. Take Aways. Coders must be aware of the index entries for intestinal obstruction and follow the index. For conditions in the index, look for “with obstruction” underneath the main entry or subterm entries.
In the past, bowel obstruction was almost always coded as a diagnosis as the physician usually addressed the condition and did work up as to the cause, many times addressing the cause also. However that has changed as the coder will see in this coding tip.
Lastly, if intestinal obstruction is a complication of surgery, code K91.3-, may be warranted. Coders must validate that this is truly intestinal obstruction as a complication of surgery, and not just occurring after surgery due to another cause. The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary.
Cholestasis is a condition where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 576.2 was previously used, K83.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
