Sjögren syndrome, unspecified M35. 00 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 M35. 00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Listen to pronunciation. (SHOH-grin SIN-drome) An autoimmune disease that affects the tear glands and salivary glands, and may affect glands in the stomach, pancreas, and intestines.
Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) is a systemic chronic autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology characterized by salivary and lacrimal glands immune-mediated damage, leading to dryness of the mouth (xerostomia) and eyes (xerophthalmia).
Sjogren's (SHOW-grins) syndrome is a disorder of your immune system identified by its two most common symptoms — dry eyes and a dry mouth. The condition often accompanies other immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic disorder that causes insufficient moisture production in certain glands of the body, including the saliva-producing and tear-producing glands. The lungs, bowel and other organs are less often affected by Sjögren's syndrome.
In secondary Sjogren's syndrome, which accounts for over 50% of the cases diagnosed, other autoimmune diseases are present, including rheumatoid arthritis (20-30%), systemic lupus erythematosus (15-35%), systemic sclerosis (10-25%), and psoriatic arthritis.
Causes of Sjögren's syndrome Sjögren's syndrome is caused by the immune system (the body's defence against infection), damaging healthy parts of the body. This is known as an autoimmune condition. The condition usually affects areas of the body that produce fluids, such as tears and saliva.
Sjogren's syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition that often accompanies other autoimmune conditions. Some of these include lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It is estimated that up to 15 to 18 percent of people living with lupus also have Sjogren's syndrome.
Also known as Sjogren's syndrome, sicca syndrome is a commonly occurring chronic autoimmune disease. Patients diagnosed with it experience a constant feeling of dry mouth and dry eyes. Learn more about sicca syndrome, sicca syndrome symptoms, and its treatment approaches.
Treat systemwide symptoms. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), a drug designed to treat malaria, is often helpful in treating Sjogren's syndrome. Drugs that suppress the immune system, such as methotrexate (Trexall), also might be prescribed.

You may experience dryness in your nose or throat or on your skin. Sjögren's syndrome can also affect the joints, lungs, kidneys, blood vessels, digestive organs and nerves, causing symptoms such as: Swollen glands, specifically behind the jaw and in front of the ears. Joint pain, swelling or stiffness.
An initiative to revise and update the ICD-10 Code for Sjögren’s, which began in 2017 , was coordinated and led by the Sjögren’s Foundation, in partnership with the American College of Rheumatology and with the help and input from a group of multi-specialty experts.
While dryness (sicca) certainly occurs in Sjögren’s, dryness alone does not represent the disease and its many other manifestations. Multiple years of planning and presenting to government agencies has resulted in a revised ICD-10 code for Sjögren’s, which is set to take effect in October 2020.
We, and many others knew that Sjögren’s and sicca are not synonymous, with sicca being a symptom but not a disease, and Sjögren’s being a distinct systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease that can affect multiple organs and body systems.
