Chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) with ulcer of bilateral lower extremity
abstract = "Purpose: Clinicians commonly believe that lower extremity amputations are potentially preventable with coordinated care and motivated patient self-management. We used in-depth interviews with recent amputees to assess how patients viewed their initial amputation risk and causes.

They can be a sign of a serious disease called venous insufficiency. If left untreated, symptoms can progress from unsightly varicose veins to swelling, skin ulcerations, and chronic pain. If you are wondering “Can venous insufficiency be cured?” the answer is yes.
Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral)
ICD-10 | Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) (I87. 2)
The stasis ulcer caused by venous insufficiency is captured first with the code for underlying disease (459.81) followed by the code for the location of the ulcer (707.13).
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.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. CVI causes blood to “pool” or collect in these veins, and this pooling is called stasis.
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. As a result, blood flows backward and pools in the veins.
ICD-10-CM Code for Edema, unspecified R60. 9.
Primary venous insufficiency is of uncertain etiology, whereas secondary venous insufficiency is attributed to an acquired condition. The anatomic classification describes the superficial, deep, and perforating venous systems, with multiple venous segments that may be involved.
Lipodermatosclerosis can come into effect and the skin can take on a bumpy appearance with a dark brown color. Stasis Dermatitis is often a chronic condition. Both of these conditions have been associated with obesity and heart problems, but it is not completely clear what causes them.
Primary chronic venous insufficiency refers to the symptomatic presentation without a precipitating event and is due to congenital defects or changes in venous wall biochemistry. Recent studies suggest that approximately 70% of patients have primary chronic venous insufficiency and 30% have secondary disease.
