Biliary Dyskinesia ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Biliary Dyskinesia

Biliary dyskinesia is a condition that disrupts the normal movement of the gallbladder and bile ducts, leading to various digestive problems. It has specific ICD-10 codes for accurate medical documentation and billing. Here are some commonly used ones:

• K82.8: This code represents 'Other specified diseases of the gallbladder,' which includes conditions like biliary dyskinesia. It is primarily used when the gallbladder disease is identified but has no unique code.
• K83.9: Known as 'Disease of the biliary tract, unspecified,' this code is typically used when the specific condition affecting the biliary tract is unclear.
• K82.9: 'Disease of the gallbladder, unspecified' is similar to K83.9. It is used when the exact gallbladder condition is not specifically identified.
• K80.45: This code signifies 'Calculus of bile duct with chronic cholecystitis with obstruction.' It is relevant if these specific conditions accompany the biliary dyskinesia.
• K80.51: 'Calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis with obstruction' is used when there's a calculus in the bile duct without inflammation but with an obstruction present.
• K80.20: This code represents 'Calculus of gallbladder with acute cholecystitis without obstruction.'
• K80.30: Known as 'Calculus of bile duct with cholangitis without obstruction,' this code is used when there's a calculus in the bile duct with inflammation but without obstruction.
• K80.50: 'Calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis without obstruction' is used when there's a calculus in the bile duct without inflammation or obstruction.
• K83.1: This code signifies 'Obstruction of bile duct' and can be used when biliary dyskinesia leads to such obstruction.
• K83.0: Known as 'Cholangitis,' this code is used when the bile ducts become inflamed, which can occur in severe cases of biliary dyskinesia.

Clinical Information

• Biliary dyskinesia is a condition that commonly manifests through persistent pain in the upper right section of the abdomen. This pain is often chronic and may vary in intensity.

• This health issue falls under motility disorders, specifically affecting the gallbladder and the biliary tract. These parts of the digestive system are essential for properly breaking down and absorbing dietary fats.
• The diagnosis of biliary dyskinesia typically involves several tests. A HIDA scan with Cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulation is one of the most common diagnostic procedures. This test evaluates the functioning of the gallbladder or bile ducts by tracking the flow of a radioactive tracer.

• Once diagnosed, the standard treatment approach for biliary dyskinesia is surgical removal of the gallbladder, known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This minimally invasive procedure is usually recommended due to its high success rate and relatively low risk of complications.

• It's crucial to note that post-surgical lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments, may be necessary to support optimal digestion and overall health. Regular follow-ups with the healthcare provider are essential to monitor the patient's progress and manage potential post-surgical issues.
