Right Lower Quadrant Abdominal Pain Icd 10
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A medical classification is used to transform descriptions of medical diagnoses or procedures into standardized statistical code in a process known as clinical coding, Diagnosis classifications list diagnosis codes, which are used to track diseases and other health conditions, inclusive of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and heart disease, and infectious diseases such as norovirus, the flu, and athlete’s foot,
- statistical analysis of diseases and therapeutic actions
- reimbursement (e.g., to process claims in medical billing based on diagnosis-related groups )
- knowledge-based and decision support systems
- direct surveillance of epidemic or pandemic outbreaks
There are country specific standards and international classification systems.

What is the possible diagnosis of right lower quadrant pain?
Diagnosis of Suspected Acute Appendicitis – Guidelines suggest that when a diagnosis of acute appendicitis can be made on clinical grounds surgical consultation should be sought without delay for additional diagnostic testing.8 Clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of appendicitis include a history of central abdominal pain migrating to the right lower quadrant (RLQ), anorexia, fever, and nausea/vomiting.
On examination, RLQ tenderness, along with “classical” signs of peritoneal irritation (e.g., rebound tenderness, guarding, rigidity, referred pain), may be present. Other signs (e.g., the psoas or obturator signs) may help the clinician localize the inflamed appendix.9 – 11 The performance of clinical symptoms and signs for identifying acute appendicitis seems to be variable across studies, many patients present atypically, and few clinical findings appear to have adequate sensitivity and specificity when used in isolation.10, 11 For patients with right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain, when the diagnosis cannot be made on clinical grounds alone, laboratory or imaging tests are often used to attempt to establish a diagnosis and guide treatment.
Laboratory evaluations potentially useful for the diagnosis of appendicitis include white blood cell count, granulocyte count, the proportion of polymorphonuclear blood cells, and C-reactive protein concentration.10 – 12 Imaging tests, such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) with and without contrast, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are also used extensively for the diagnosis of appendicitis.13 – 19 Imaging tests can be used alone or in combination.
For example, US is sometimes used as a triage test to separate patients in whom sonography alone is adequate to establish a diagnosis from those who require further imaging with CT.8 Different factors may affect the performance of alternative tests and their impact on clinical outcomes. For example, US examination is considered to be operator dependent 20 and is technically challenging in obese patients or women in late pregnancy.
CT scanning can be performed with or without the use of contrast agents, and contrast can be administered orally, rectally, intravenously, or via combinations of these routes.8 It has been suggested that low body mass index (BMI), a marker for lack of sufficient mesenteric fat (which helps visualize periappendiceal fat stranding, a radiological sign of appendicitis), may affect the relative test performance of CT performed with or without contrast (contrast being more useful in individuals with low BMI and children).8 Clinical symptoms and signs, along with the results of laboratory or imaging tests, can be combined into multivariable diagnostic scores (sometimes referred to as “clinical prediction rules”), multivariable that synthesize the findings of different investigations to determine the most likely diagnosis.21 In adults, the most commonly used multivariable score for appendicitis is the Alvarado score, 22 which separates patients into 3 groups of increasing probability of appendicitis (the score is based on 8 items: pain migration, anorexia, nausea, tenderness in RLQ, rebound pain, elevated temperature, leukocytosis, and shift of white blood cell count to the left).23 Although the Alvarado score is also used in pediatric populations, 24, 25 the Pediatric Appendicitis Score has been developed and validated for use in children.26 It is based on 9 items (migration of pain, anorexia, nausea/vomiting, fever, cough/percussion tenderness, hopping tenderness, RLQ tenderness, leukocytosis, polymorphonuclear neutrophilia) and classifies children into two groups (high vs.
low probability of appendicitis).26 Diagnostic laparoscopy is also used for the evaluation of patients with RLQ pain and suspected acute appendicitis, primarily when a diagnosis cannot be established via other means. Although diagnostic laparoscopy is generally considered safe, studies have reported variable rates of morbidity and mortality from the procedure.27 In general the diagnostic tests discussed in this section are widely available in the U.S.
Clinical symptoms and signs can be evaluated relatively easily and inexpensively. Evidence from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey suggested that CT and complete blood counts are obtained in the majority of patients presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain.
