Other diseases of the digestive system (K90-K95)

ICD-10 codes K90-K95 focus on a variety of specific digestive system disorders and complications not covered elsewhere. These include malabsorption syndromes like celiac disease (K90.0) and tropical sprue (K90.1), as well as intraoperative and post-surgical digestive complications such as postgastric surgery syndrome (K91.1) and postcholecystectomy syndrome (K91.5).

This range addresses intestinal malabsorption conditions characterized by difficulty absorbing nutrients, exemplified by terms like gluten intolerance and Whipple's disease connected to codes K90.41 and K90.81. It also covers problems related to artificial openings or stomas, including infections and mechanical malfunctions of colostomies and gastrostomies (K94). The section on complications of bariatric surgical procedures (K95) includes infections and mechanical issues after weight-loss surgeries. Additionally, K92 codes describe gastrointestinal bleeding symptoms such as hematemesis and melena, and other related digestive diseases. These codes help medical professionals identify and document specific digestive conditions and postoperative problems for precise treatment and billing.
