2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L90.8Other atrophic disorders of skin

AHRQ’s CCSR groups this code into broader clinical categories.

• 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).

• 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.

• Spastic Paraplegia 56|Autosomal Recessive Spastic Paraplegia-56 with or without Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum|SPG56

  an autosomal recessive subtype of hereditary spastic paraplegia caused by mutation(s) in the cyp2u1 gene, encoding cytochrome p450 2u1.

Skin Conditions

Your skin is your body's largest organ. It covers the entire outside of your body. There are many ways that your skin protects your body and helps keep you healthy. For example, it:
