ICD-9 Codes 357.6 Polyneuropathy
Polyneuropathy is damage or disease affecting peripheral nerves in roughly the same areas on both sides of the body, featuring weakness, numbness, and burning pain. It usually begins in the hands and feet and may progress to the arms and legs and sometimes to other parts of the body where it may affect the autonomic nervous system. It may be acute or chronic. A number of different disorders …

These include electromyography with nerve conduction studies, skin biopsies to evaluate cutaneous nerve innervation, and nerve and muscle biopsies for histopathological evaluation. Treatment of chemotherapy induced neuropathies depends on discontinuation or lowering the dose of the anti-cancer drug.

356.9ICD-9-CM Coding Peripheral neuropathy that is not further specified as being caused by an underlying condition is assigned to code 356.9.
Some chemotherapy drugs and other treatments for cancer can cause peripheral neuropathy, a set of symptoms caused by damage to nerves that control the sensations and movements of our arms, legs, hands, and feet.
Hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy, unspecified 9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G60.
Polyneuropathy is when multiple peripheral nerves become damaged, which is also commonly called peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral nerves are the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord.
Overview. Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most frequent side effects caused by antineoplastic agents, with a prevalence from 19% to over 85%. Clinically, CIPN is a mostly sensory neuropathy that may be accompanied by motor and autonomic changes of varying intensity and duration.
In the meantime, symptoms can be treated with:steroids to reduce inflammation.topical numbing medicines.antiseizure medications, which can help relieve nerve pain.prescription-strength pain relievers such as narcotics (opioids)antidepressants.electrical nerve stimulation.occupational and physical therapy.
Although less common than peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy can develop as a result of chemotherapy, too. It occurs when the nerves that control involuntary bodily functions are damaged.
ICD-10 code G60. 9 for Hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
2.
Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy refers to damage of the peripheral nerves where cause can not be determined. When the peripheral nerves are damaged, there are often symptoms that affect the feet.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is damage and dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system secondary to chemotherapeutic agents , including platinum agents, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, thalidomide, bortezomib, and ixabepilone ( Table 96.1 ). CIPN commonly occurs in 30% to 40% of patients, but its incidence can vary from 0% to 70% ...
The degree of neuronal damage is dependent on many factors, such as the chemotherapeutic agent, the frequency and duration of therapy, the cumulative dose, the use of other neurotoxic agents, and the presence of preexisting neuropathies, most commonly from diabetes [ 1 ].

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
Neuropathic pain should be coded as neuralgia M79.2, not neuropathy.
Most of the neuropathy ICD 10 codes are located in Chapter-6 of ICD-10-CM manual which is “diseases of the nervous system”, code range G00-G 99
Peripheral neuropathy with diabetes should be coded as E11.42 (DM with polyneuropath), not e11.40 (DM with neuropathy).
Autonomic neuropathy symptoms can be heart intolerance, excess sweat or no sweat, blood pressure changes, bladder, bowel or digestive problems. Physician does a thorough physical examination including extremity neurological exam and noting vitals.
Detailed history of the patient like symptoms, lifestyle and exposure to toxins may also help to diagnose neuropathy. Blood tests, CT, MRI, electromyography, nerve biopsy and skin biopsy are the tests used to confirm neuropathy.
Symptoms can vary in both peripheral and autonomic neuropathy because the nerves affected are different. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms can be tingling, sharp throbbing pain, lack of coordination, paralysis if motor nerves are affected. Autonomic neuropathy symptoms can be heart intolerance, excess sweat or no sweat, blood pressure changes, bladder, bowel or digestive problems.
There is hereditary neuropathy also which get transferred from parent to child. Neuropathy can occur in any nerve of the body, but peripheral neuropathy is the common type seen in most of the people. As the name says peripheral neuropathy affects peripheral nerves usually extremities (hands and feet).
