Gastrojejunal ulcer (K28)
The ICD-10 code K28 and its subcategories are used to classify various types of gastrojejunal ulcers, which affect the area where the stomach and jejunum connect. These codes cover ulcers whether they are acute or chronic, with detailed distinctions based on the presence of hemorrhage, perforation, both, or neither.
This section includes specific codes such as K28.0 for acute ulcers with hemorrhage, K28.1 for acute ulcers with perforation, and K28.2 for acute ulcers with both hemorrhage and perforation. For chronic or unspecified cases, codes like K28.4 through K28.7 differentiate based on similar complications. The code K28.9 addresses ulcers unspecified as acute or chronic and without hemorrhage or perforation. Common synonyms like “acute peptic ulcer with hemorrhage and obstruction” or “gastric anastomotic hemorrhage” align with these codes, aiding medical coders in selecting the precise ICD-10 code for gastrojejunal ulcer diagnoses. This classification assists healthcare professionals in accurately documenting and treating this specific gastrointestinal condition.
