ICD-10 | Common variable immunodeficiency, unspecified (D83. 9)
Doctors can diagnose CVID by weighing factors including infection history, digestive symptoms, lab tests showing very low immunoglobulin levels, and low antibody responses to immunization.
To accurately assign the ICD-10 code D89. 9, disorder involving the immune mechanism unspecified, or D84. 9, immunodeficiency unspecified, the patient's immunocompromised state should not be attributed to a chronic condition or a prescribed medication therapy.

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are a group of rare diseases which have benefited from NGS, with a massive increase in causative genes identified in the past few years. Common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID) are a heterogeneous form of PID and the most common form of antibody failure in children and adults.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes more than 400 primary immunodeficiencies ranging from relatively common to quite rare. CVID is one of the most prevalent of the symptomatic primary immunodeficiencies and manifests a wide variability of symptoms and range of severity.
Treating a patient who is immunocompromised poses more risks and challenges; therefore, it is important to identify a patient with this status. Code D84. 821, Immunodeficiency due to drugs, was created for immunodeficiency due to medications that interfere with the immune system.
Immunodeficiency disorders impair the immune system's ability to defend the body against foreign or abnormal cells that invade or attack it (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and cancer cells). As a result, unusual bacterial, viral, or fungal infections or lymphomas.
(IH-myoo-noh-suh-PREST) Having a weakened immune system. People who are immunosuppressed have a reduced ability to fight infections and other diseases. This may be caused by certain diseases or conditions, such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes, malnutrition, and certain genetic disorders.

N18. 31- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3a. N18. 32- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3b.
IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is a kidney disease that occurs when IgA deposits build up in the kidneys, causing inflammation that damages kidney tissues. IgA is an antibody—a protein made by the immune system to protect the body from foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses.
ENT and pulmonary consultations are frequently advisable. Other specialists may be needed for specific problems in individual cases.
Immune cells can accumulate in other organs, forming small lumps called granulomas. Approximately 25 percent of people with CVID have an autoimmune disorder, which occurs when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the body's tissues and organs.
The life expectancy of CVID patients has considerably improved over the past 30 years [5, 63], from initially 12 years to currently over 50 years [3]. Reduced survival was significantly associated with age at diagnosis, lower baseline IgG, higher IgM and fewer peripheral B cells.
It's possible to live a full and active life with CVID, but it will take some adjustments. These include regular treatment with immunoglobulin replacement therapy, as well as lifestyle modifications to prevent infections.
