Clinical Information

• Anetoderma-. benign dermatosis caused by a loss of dermal elastic tissue resulting in localized sac-like areas of flaccid skin. it can be either primary (idiopathic) or secondary to other skin conditions, penicillamine use, or premature birth.
• Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum-. an inherited disorder of connective tissue with extensive degeneration and calcification of elastic tissue primarily in the skin, eye, and vasculature. at least two forms exist, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. this disorder is caused by mutations of one of the atp-binding cassette transporters. patients are predisposed to myocardial infarction and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
• Acute Kidney Injury-. abrupt reduction in kidney function. acute kidney injury encompasses the entire spectrum of the syndrome including acute kidney failure; acute kidney tubular necrosis; and other less severe conditions.
• Renal Insufficiency-. conditions in which the kidneys perform below the normal level in the ability to remove wastes, concentrate urine, and maintain electrolyte balance; blood pressure; and calcium metabolism. renal insufficiency can be classified by the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of proteinuria) and reduction in glomerular filtration rate.
• Renal Insufficiency, Chronic-. conditions in which the kidneys perform below the normal level for more than three months. chronic kidney insufficiency is classified by five stages according to the decline in glomerular filtration rate and the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of proteinuria). the most severe form is the end-stage renal disease (chronic kidney failure). (kidney foundation: kidney disease outcome quality initiative, 2002)
• Anetoderma-. a dermatologic condition characterized by focal loss of elastic tissue. clinically it presents with atrophic depressions or saccular outpouchings of the skin.
• ABCC6 wt Allele|ABC34|ARA|ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family C (CFTR/MRP), Member 6 wt Allele|ATP-Binding Cassette, Subfamily C, Member 6 Gene|EST349056|GACI2|MLP1|MOAT-E|MOATE|MRP6|PXE|PXE1|Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Gene|URG7-. human abcc6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p13.1 and is approximately 75 kb in length. this allele, which encodes multidrug resistance-associated protein 6, plays a role in the active transport of drugs across the plasma membrane. mutation of the gene is associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and generalized arterial calcification of infancy type 2.
• Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum-. a rare, progressive, autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the abcc6 gene. it is characterized by calcification and fragmentation of the elastic fibers of the skin, retina, and cardiovascular system. signs and symptoms include skin plaques and bumps, thickened skin, retinal hemorrhage and obstruction of the blood vessels.

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.

Skin Conditions

Your skin is your body's largest organ. It covers and protects your body. Your skin:

• Holds body fluids in, preventing dehydration
• Keeps harmful microbes out, preventing infections
• Helps you feel things like heat, cold, and pain
• Keeps your body temperature even
• Makes vitamin D when the sun shines on it

Anything that irritates, clogs, or inflames your skin can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, burning, and itching. Allergies, irritants, your genetic makeup, and certain diseases and immune system problems can cause rashes, hives, and other skin conditions. Many skin problems, such as acne, also affect your appearance.
