I87.2ICD-10 | Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) (I87. 2)
Venous stasis dermatitis happens when there's a problem with your veins, usually in your lower legs, that keeps blood from moving through very well. As more fluid and pressure build, some of the blood leaks out of your veins and into your skin. The condition is also called venous eczema or stasis dermatitis.Jan 20, 2022
You can confirm the correct code category by looking up the term “Ulcer, stasis (venous)” in the alphabetic index. It directs you to “see Varix, leg, with ulcer,” which has the subterm “without varicose veins,” which specifies code I87.
The type of edema associated with CVI is characterized by an increase in the volume of subcutaneous interstitial fluid in the lower limbs associated with hemodynamic problems caused by venous stasis.
Venous stasis involves an inflammation of the skin in the lower legs as a result of chronic venous insufficiency. If the valves or walls of the veins in the legs are not working properly, it is difficult for blood to circulate from the legs back to the heart.
When you stand or sit, the valves close and prevent blood from flowing backwards into your legs. Over time, valves can leak and blood flows downwards, back into your legs. This causes high pressure in your leg veins and causes fluid to leak out and build up in your legs due to the effects of gravity.
R60.9ICD-10 code R60. 9 for Edema, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 | Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified (I73. 9)
PVD occurs when disease affects any of the vessels outside of your heart, wherever they happen to be — in your arms, legs, brain or anywhere else. A common type of PVD is venous insufficiency, which occurs when the valves in the leg veins don't shut properly during blood's return to the heart.Feb 26, 2020
Pitting edema is often due to extra water, so it responds well to elevation and diuretics. Non-pitting edema, on the other hand, is usually caused by factors other than just fluid, which makes drainage more difficult.Mar 6, 2018
Deep venous insufficiency can be due to congenital valve or vessel abnormalities, but it most commonly occurs when the valves of the deep veins are damaged as a result of DVT. With no valves to prevent deep system reflux, the hydrostatic venous pressure in the lower extremity increases dramatically.Sep 25, 2020
