Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • 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). (kidney foundation: kidney disease outcome quality initiative, 2002)
  • 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.

Convert L90.8 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 701.8 - Skin hypertro/atroph NEC
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Skin Conditions

What does your skin do?

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:

  • Holds body fluids in, which helps prevent you from getting dehydrated
  • Keeps out harmful germs, which helps prevent infections
  • Helps you feel things like heat, cold, and pain
  • Helps control your body temperature
  • Makes vitamin D when the sun shines on it
  • Shields your body against heat and light

What problems and conditions can affect your skin?

There are many different problems and conditions which can affect your skin. Some of them can cause uncomfortable symptoms, such as itching, burning, redness, and rashes. They might also affect your appearance. Some of the more common skin conditions include:

  • Acne, which causes pimples when hair follicles under your skin get clogged up
  • Burns
  • Cuts and scrapes
  • Dandruff, flaking of the skin on your scalp (the top of your head)
  • Eczema (atopic dermatitis), which causes inflammation, redness, and irritation of the skin
  • Hives, which are red and sometimes itchy bumps on your skin
  • Insect bites
  • Psoriasis, which causes itchy, scaly red patches
  • Skin cancer
  • Skin infections

How can I keep my skin healthy?

Since your skin protects your body in many ways, it's important to try to keep your skin healthy. For example, you can:

  • Wear the right protective equipment, like gloves, long sleeves, knee and elbow pads, or helmets to protect against cuts, bumps and scrapes.
  • If you do get a cut or scrape, clean it right away with soap and warm water. Put on a bandage to protect it while it heals.
  • When you are spending time outdoors, wear long sleeves and pants and use insect repellant to prevent insect bites.
  • Prevent sunburn by covering up and using sunscreen when outdoors.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water.
  • When you take a shower or bath, use warm (not hot) water. Use mild cleansers and wash gently (don't scrub).
  • Use moisturizers, like lotions, creams, or ointments, to prevent dry skin.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
