J84.9 - Interstitial pulmonary disease, unspecified
| ICD-10: | J84.9 |
| Short Description: | Interstitial pulmonary disease, unspecified |
| Long Description: | Interstitial pulmonary disease, unspecified |
| Status: | Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
| Code Classification: |
J84.9 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of interstitial pulmonary disease, unspecified. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like J84.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Information
- Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia|DIP|RBILD|Respiratory Bronchiolitis Interstitial Lung Disease-. a rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia characterized by accumulation of macrophages in alveolar spaces and interstitial inflammation. it usually occurs in smokers. some patients develop progressive interstitial lung fibrosis.
- Interstitial Lung Disease-. a category of lung diseases characterized by varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis of the interstitial lung tissue. causes include occupational lung exposures and drugs. in a minority of cases there is no clear cause and such cases are termed idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
- Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction-3|Interstitial Lung Disease Due To ABCA3 Deficiency|SMDP3|Surfactant Apoprotein ABCA3 Deficiency|Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction-3|Surfactant Protein ABCA3 Deficiency|Surfactant Protein ABCA3 Deficiency-. an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the abca3 gene, encoding atp-binding cassette sub-family a member 3. it is characterized by severe respiratory insufficiency or failure in neonates or infants.

The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

Patient Education
Interstitial Lung Diseases
Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.
Breathing in dust or other particles in the air is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include:
- Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust
- Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust
- Asbestosis, from inhaling asbestos fibers
- Siderosis, from inhaling iron from mines or welding fumes
- Silicosis, from inhaling silica dust
Other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes. Some types of interstitial lung disease have no known cause.
Treatment depends on the type of exposure and the stage of the disease. It may involve medicines, oxygen therapy, or a lung transplant in severe cases.
