ICD-10-CM Code M31.3 Wegener's granulomatosis. ICD Code M31.3 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of M31.3 that describes the diagnosis 'wegener's granulomatosis' in more detail.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly referred to as Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), is a systemic disorder that involves both granulomatosis and polyangiitis. It is a form of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) that affects small- and medium-size vessels in many organs. Damage to the lungs and kidneys can be fatal.
Wegener's granulomatosis without renal involvement. The inflammation limits the flow of blood to important organs, causing damage. It can affect any organ, but it mainly affects the sinuses, nose, trachea (windpipe), lungs, and kidneys. The cause of wegener's granulomatosis is unknown. It can affect people at any age.
M31.30 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10 code M31. 31 for Wegener's granulomatosis with renal involvement is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue .
Overview. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is an uncommon disorder that causes inflammation of the blood vessels in your nose, sinuses, throat, lungs and kidneys. Formerly called Wegener's granulomatosis, this condition is one of a group of blood vessel disorders called vasculitis.
Wegener's granulomatosis with renal involvement M31. 31 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare condition where the blood vessels become inflamed. It mainly affects the ears, nose, sinuses, kidneys and lungs. Anyone can get it, including children, but it's most common in adults and older people.
The move was prompted by knowledge of Wegener's Nazi associations. They suggested “granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's)” as the alternative, with an acronym of GPA, along with the parenthetical reference to Wegener, until the acronym becomes more familiar to the clinical community.
Formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis, this type of ANCA vasculitis is frequently associated with PR3-ANCAs. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA): EGPA is typically limited to the lungs and gastrointestinal tract, although other organs, like the heart and kidneys, may be affected.

ICD-10 code L95. 9 for Vasculitis limited to the skin, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV) is an umbrella term for a group of multi-system autoimmune small vessel vasculitides that can present at any age and affect 20-25 people per million per year in Europe. 1 A typical GP practice with 8000 patients can expect to see one new case approximately every five years.
A tissue biopsy is essential for the definitive diagnosis of Wegener granulomatosis. Upper respiratory tract biopsies show acute and chronic inflammation with granulomatous changes. Kidney biopsies typically show segmental necrotizing pauci-immune and often angiocentric glomerulonephritis (1).
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies directed against another antigen, myeloperoxidase, are not sufficient to cause vasculitis but they promote damage in certain animal models. Thus, a considerable amount of evidence supports the notion that Wegener's granulomatosis is an autoimmune disease.
Causes of Wegener's Granulomatosis While the cause of Wegener's granulomatosis is unknown, research indicates that this autoimmune disorder is triggered by an event that results in inflammation. In some individuals, this inflammation is believed to set off an abnormal immune system reaction.
Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare disease. It is a type of vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels. The inflammation limits the flow of blood to important organs, causing damage. It can affect any organ, but it mainly affects the sinuses, nose, trachea (windpipe), lungs, and kidneys.
A multisystemic disease of a complex genetic background. It is characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis) leading to damage in any number of organs. The common features include granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tract and kidneys. Most patients have measurable autoantibodies (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) against neutrophil proteinase-3 (wegener autoantigen).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M31.30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The cause of wegener's granulomatosis is unknown. It can affect people at any age. Men and women are equally affected. It is more common in whites. Symptoms may include joint pain, weakness, tiredness, and cold symptoms such as a runny nose that doesn't get better.
