Jul 18, 2021 · Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone ADH release (SIADH) is a condition defined by the unsuppressed release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland or nonpituitary sources or its continued action on vasopressin receptors. The condition was first detected in two patients with lung cancer by William Schwartz and Frederic Bartter in 1967.

What are the symptoms of hyponatremia?

Signs and symptoms of hyponatremia include nausea/vomiting; headache; confusion; lethargy; fatigue; appetite loss; restlessness; irritability; muscle weakness, spasms, or cramps; seizures; and decreased consciousness or coma.

Who is responsible for coding a diagnosis?

In the inpatient setting, a diagnosis based on an abnormal lab result or diagnostic test should not be determined by someone other than a physician. The physician must document the diagnosis in the medical record before it can be coded.

What is the definition of hypernatremia?

Hypernatremia (hyperosmolality; 276.0) is defined as an elevated sodium level in the blood that is more than 145 milliequivalents per liter. Hypernatremia results from a decrease of free water in the body rather than excess sodium. Therefore, physicians may document the term dehydration instead of hypernatremia.

What causes hyponatremia in the body?

Common causes of hyponatremia include the consumption of excessive water during exercise, diuretics, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SI ADH; 253.6), dehydration, diet, and congestive heart failure. Per coding directives, if dehydration is documented with hyponatremia, assign only a code for the hyponatremia (276.1).

What is the blood level of potassium?

Hypokalemia (hypopotassemia; 276.8) is a below-normal level of potassium in the blood of less than 3.5 milliequivalents per liter. Hypokalemia may be caused from an overall depletion in the body’s potassium or an excessive uptake of potassium by muscle from surrounding fluids.

What causes hyperkalemia?

Hyperkalemia may be caused from a consumption of too much potassium salt, the failure of the kidneys to normally excrete potassium ions into the urine, or the leakage of potassium from cells into the bloodstream. Symptoms of hyperkalemia include heart abnormalities such as arrhythmia or cardiac arrest.

What is the syndrome of inappropriate vasopressin secretion?

Clinical Information. A condition of hyponatremia and renal salt loss attributed to overexpansion of body fluids resulting from sustained release of antidiuretic hormones which stimulates renal resorption of water.

What is an etiologies?

Etiologies include adh-producing neoplasms, injuries or diseases involving the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the lung. This syndrome can also be drug-induced. A syndrome characterized by abnormal secretion of antidiuretic hormone in conjunction with neoplastic growth occurring anywhere in the body.

The ICD code E222 is used to code Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone from the posterior pituitary gland or another source. The increase in blood volume (hypervolemia) often results in dilutional hyponatremia in which the plasma sodium levels are lowered and total body fluid is increased.

Hyponatremia Definition and Symptoms

Hyponatremia is a blood condition where the amount of sodium (Na) in the blood is lower than normal. Symptoms include headache, confusion, loss of energy, restlessness, muscle weakness, seizures, fatigue, irritability, or coma.

Definition

  • Hypernatremia (hyperosmolality; 276.0) is defined as an elevated sodium level in the blood that is more than 145 milliequivalents per liter. Hypernatremia results from a decrease of free water in the body rather than excess sodium. Therefore, physicians may document the term dehydration instead of hypernatremia. Dehydration is classified to code 276.51. If, however, dehydration is d…

Symptoms

  • Although a patient with mild hypokalemia does not have any symptoms, moderate hypokalemia results in confusion, disorientation, weakness, and discomfort/cramps of muscles. Hypokalemia is treated with potassium supplements, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium acetate.
