R60. 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 R60.
ICD-10 code R22. 43 for Localized swelling, mass and lump, lower limb, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10-CM Code for Fluid overload, unspecified E87. 70.
Peripheral edema can poses a diagnostic dilemma to family physicians due to a wide range of underlying diseases. As discussed above in detail, the causes of edema may be due to a myriad of diagnoses, including heart, liver, renal, thyroid, and other vascular etiologies.
Localized swelling, mass and lump, right lower limb R22. 41 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 R22. 41 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Leg swelling related to fluid buildup Leg swelling caused by the retention of fluid in leg tissues is known as peripheral edema. It can be caused by a problem with the venous circulation system, the lymphatic system or the kidneys.
R60. 0 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 R60.
Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
Edema is swelling of soft tissues due to increased interstitial fluid. The fluid is predominantly water, but protein and cell-rich fluid can accumulate if there is infection or lymphatic obstruction. Edema may be generalized or local (eg, limited to a single extremity or part of an extremity).
Pitting edema: With this type, which can occur in peripheral edema, pressure applied to the skin leaves an indent or pit in the skin. Periorbital edema: This refers to inflammation and puffiness around the eye or eyes. The puffiness is due to fluid buildup and is usually temporary.
peripheral oedema, which is swelling under the skin. lymphoedema, which is swelling under the skin due to failure of the lymphatic system.
The differential diagnosis includes systemic illnesses such as heart failure, liver disease, malnutrition, and thyroid disorder; local conditions such as pelvic tumors, infection,, trauma, and venous thrombosis; and various medications known to increase the risk of edema of the lower extremities.

Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although edema can affect any part of your body, you may notice it more in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.
There are two types of swelling: edema – swelling that occurs primarily in the soft tissues of the body and effusion – swelling or fluid in the joint space. Edema and effusion are a result of the change in the fluid levels in and out of the cells.
Peripheral edema is edema (accumulation of fluid causing swelling) in tissues perfused by the peripheral vascular system, usually in the lower limbs. In the most dependent parts of the body (those hanging distally), it may be called dependent edema.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code R60.0 and a single ICD9 code, 782.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
