ICD-10 code N23 for Unspecified renal colic is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
In the ICD-10-CM Index, the entry for “Pain, flank” shows a note to “see Pain, abdominal.” You must code flank pain as unspecified abdominal pain (R10. 9) unless the physician provides additional information about the location of the pain, such as whether it is in the upper or lower portion of the abdomen.
If “flank pain” is all you have to work with from the documentation, then R10. 9 is the code to use.
ICD-10 code R11. 0 for Nausea is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The flank is the area on the sides and back of your abdomen, between your lower ribs and your hips. Pain in this area is called flank pain.
Flank pain is pain in one side of the body between the upper belly area (abdomen) and the back. There are three body views (front, back, and side) that can help you to identify a specific body area. The labels show areas of the body which are identified either by anatomical or by common names.
ICD-10 code R10. 32 for Left lower quadrant pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Left lower quadrant (LLQ) pain is tummy pain that is mainly in the lower half on the left-hand side. It is sometimes also called left iliac fossa (LIF) pain, although this really means pain in a smaller area in the lower left corner of your tummy.
The pancreas and liver sit deep within the abdomen, just under the rib cage. Sometimes, problems with these organs cause flank pain. The pain can also radiate to the back. As the liver and pancreas work together to help the body digest food, a problem with one organ may eventually affect the other.

As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use this equivalent ICD-10-CM code, which is an exact match to ICD-9 code 788.0:
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
788.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of renal colic. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
References found for the code 788.0 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Your abdomen extends from below your chest to your groin. Some people call it the stomach, but your abdomen contains many other important organs. Pain in the abdomen can come from any one of them. The pain may start somewhere else, such as your chest. Severe pain doesn't always mean a serious problem.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use this equivalent ICD-10-CM code, which is an exact match to ICD-9 code 788.2:
Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail.
