R59.1 - Generalized enlarged lymph nodes
ICD-10: | R59.1 |
Short Description: | Generalized enlarged lymph nodes |
Long Description: | Generalized enlarged lymph nodes |
Status: | Valid for Submission |
Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
Code Classification: |
R59.1 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of generalized enlarged lymph nodes. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
According to ICD-10-CM guidelines this code should not to be used as a principal diagnosis code when a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

Clinical Information
- AIDS-Related Complex-. a prodromal phase of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). laboratory criteria separating aids-related complex (arc) from aids include elevated or hyperactive b-cell humoral immune responses, compared to depressed or normal antibody reactivity in aids; follicular or mixed hyperplasia in arc lymph nodes, leading to lymphocyte degeneration and depletion more typical of aids; evolving succession of histopathological lesions such as localization of kaposi's sarcoma, signaling the transition to the full-blown aids.
- HIV-. human immunodeficiency virus. a non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically hiv-1 and/or hiv-2. prior to 1986, this was called human t-lymphotropic virus type iii/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (htlv-iii/lav). from 1986-1990, it was an official species called hiv. since 1991, hiv was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated hiv-1 and hiv-2.
- HIV Antibodies-. antibodies reactive with hiv antigens.
- HIV Antigens-. antigens associated with specific proteins of the human adult t-cell immunodeficiency virus (hiv); also called htlv-iii-associated and lymphadenopathy-associated virus (lav) antigens.
- Immunoblastic Lymphadenopathy-. a disorder characterized by proliferation of arborizing small vessels, prominent immunoblastic proliferations and amorphous acidophilic interstitial material. clinical manifestations include fever, sweats, weight loss, generalized lymphadenopathy and frequently hepatosplenomegaly.
- Lymphadenopathy-. disease of lymph nodes which are abnormal in size, number or consistency.
- Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis-. a group of arthropod-borne diseases caused by spotted fever bio-group members of rickettsia. they are characterized by fever, headache, and petechial (spotted) rash.
- Lymph Nodes-. they are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system.
- Rickettsia-. a genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria often surrounded by a protein microcapsular layer and slime layer. the natural cycle of its organisms generally involves a vertebrate and an invertebrate host. species of the genus are the etiological agents of human diseases, such as typhus.

Lymphatic Diseases
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs. It is made up of:
- Lymph - a fluid that contains white blood cells that defend against germs
- Lymph vessels - vessels that carry lymph throughout your body. They are different from blood vessels.
- Lymph nodes - glands found throughout the lymph vessels. Along with your spleen, these nodes are where white blood cells fight infection.
Your bone marrow and thymus produce the cells in lymph. They are part of the system, too.
The lymphatic system clears away infection and keeps your body fluids in balance. If it's not working properly, fluid builds in your tissues and causes swelling, called lymphedema. Other lymphatic system problems can include infections, blockage, and cancer.
