Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the P96 range.
Anuria
Absence of urine formation. It is usually associated with complete bilateral ureteral (URETER) obstruction, complete lower urinary tract obstruction, or unilateral ureteral obstruction when a solitary kidney is present.
Asthenia
Clinical sign or symptom manifested as debility, or lack or loss of strength and energy.
Chylous Ascites
Presence of milky lymph (CHYLE) in the PERITONEAL CAVITY, with or without infection.
Hyperphosphatemia
A condition of abnormally high level of PHOSPHATES in the blood, usually significantly above the normal range of 0.84-1.58 mmol per liter of serum.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Fetal and neonatal addiction and withdrawal as a result of the mother's dependence on drugs during pregnancy. Withdrawal or abstinence symptoms develop shortly after birth. Symptoms exhibited are loud, high-pitched crying, sweating, yawning and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Neurocirculatory Asthenia
A clinical syndrome characterized by palpitation, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, labored breathing, subjective complaints of effort and discomfort, all following slight PHYSICAL EXERTION. Other symptoms may be DIZZINESS, tremulousness, SWEATING, and INSOMNIA. Neurocirculatory asthenia is most typically seen as a form of anxiety disorder.
Phosphates
Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid.
Uremia
A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms.
Uremic Toxins
Biological solutes retained and accumulated due to kidney impairment that contribute to uremia/chronic kidney disease.
Ureter
One of a pair of thick-walled tubes that transports urine from the KIDNEY PELVIS to the URINARY BLADDER.
About the P96 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section P96 covers various conditions originating in the perinatal period, which refers to health issues present at or shortly after birth. These codes are used to classify specific newborn conditions that arise close to delivery, including rare disorders and complications not grouped elsewhere.
This section includes codes like P96.0 for congenital renal failure, which relates to newborns with absent or severely impaired kidney function sometimes described as congenital uremia or non-functioning kidney. Newborn withdrawal syndromes from maternal drug addiction or therapeutic drug exposure are captured under P96.1 and P96.2, respectively, clarifying diagnoses such as neonatal abstinence syndrome. Other codes like P96.3 identify anatomical features such as wide cranial sutures, while P96.5 covers complications following fetal procedures. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke is classified as P96.81. The section also includes P96.83 for meconium staining and various uncommon conditions under P96.89. The unspecified code P96.9 is used when a perinatal condition is evident but not clearly defined. Understanding these codes ensures accurate documentation of complex newborn health issues during the perinatal period.
