Clinical Information

• Alkalosis-. a pathological condition that removes acid or adds base to the body fluids.
• Alkalosis, Respiratory-. a state due to excess loss of carbon dioxide from the body. (dorland, 27th ed)
• Alkalosis-. an abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
• Alkalosis, CTCAE|Alkalosis|Alkalosis-. a disorder characterized by abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
• Bartter Syndrome, Type 1|BARTS1|Hyperprostaglandin E Syndrome 1|Hypokalemic Alkalosis with Hypercalciuria 1, Antenatal|Type 1 Bartter Syndrome-. an autosomal recessive subtype of bartter syndrome caused by mutation(s) in the slc12a1 gene, encoding solute carrier family 12 member 1.the onset occurs in the antenatal period, and may be characterized by polyhydramnios, premature birth, failure to thrive and mental retardation. clinical variability in the severity of symptoms exists and an essential feature of antenatal forms of bartter syndrome is marked hypercalciuria.
• Bartter Syndrome|Bartter's Syndrome|Hypokalemic Alkalosis-. a rare inherited syndrome characterized by juxtaglomerular cell hyperplasia, hyperaldosteronism, hypokalemia, and alkalosis. patients have high levels of plasma renin concentration which is not associated with hypertension.
• Grade 1 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 1 Alkalosis-. ph >normal, but <=7.5
• Grade 3 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 3 Alkalosis-. ph >7.5
• Grade 4 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 4 Alkalosis-. life-threatening consequences
• Grade 5 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 5 Alkalosis-. death
• Metabolic Alkalosis-. abnormally increased ph levels in the blood due to excessive loss of acid and/or accumulation of base.
• Respiratory Alkalosis-. a condition in which the blood ph is greater than normal, secondary to impaired gas exchange.
• WDHA Syndrome|Islet Cell WDHA Syndrome|Pancreatic Cholera|Pancreatic WDHA Syndrome|Verner Morrison Syndrome|WDHH|Watery Diarrhea Syndrome|Watery Diarrhea with Hypokalemic Alkalosis|Watery Diarrhea, Hypokalemia, and Achlorhydria Syndrome-. a rare syndrome characterized by severe watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and achlorhydria. it is caused by the oversecretion of vasoactive intestinal peptide from the pancreatic islet cells.

Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

The is diagnosis code is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V40.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2022 through 09/30/2023.

Metabolic Disorders

Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body's fuel. Your body can use this fuel right away, or it can store the energy in your body tissues, such as your liver, muscles, and body fat.

A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt this process. When this happens, you might have too much of some substances or too little of other ones that you need to stay healthy. There are different groups of disorders. Some affect the breakdown of amino acids, carbohydrates, or lipids. Another group, mitochondrial diseases, affects the parts of the cells that produce the energy.

You can develop a metabolic disorder when some organs, such as your liver or pancreas, become diseased or do not function normally. Diabetes is an example.
