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 medical term for RUQ pain?

Abstract – Acute right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain is a common presenting symptom in emergency departments and outpatient medical practices, and is most commonly attributable to biliary and hepatic pathology. Ultrasound should be used as a first-line imaging modality for the diagnosis of gallstones and cholecystitis, as it allows the differentiation of medical and surgical causes of upper abdominal pathology, and in many circumstances is sufficient to guide patient management.

Knowledge of strengths and limitations of ultrasound in the evaluation of RUQ is paramount in correct diagnosis. A spectrum of RUQ pathology for which a RUQ ultrasound examination should reasonably be considered as the initial imaging modality of choice will be reviewed. Keywords: acute cholecystitis; biliary colic; choledocholithiasis; gallbladder; right upper quadrant pain; ultrasound.

What is the RUQ area?

Gut problems – Several problems in your gut can give you pain in the right upper quadrant. For example:

Duodenal ulcer. Pain typically comes on a couple of hours after eating and may be improved by taking antacids, The level of pain can gradually build up over time, eventually becoming severe and may be associated with bringing up (vomiting) blood. This is an emergency and you should call an ambulance to go directly to hospital if this occurs. See the separate leaflet called Duodenal Ulcer for more information,Gastroenteritis. Infections in your gut tend to give you pain all over your tummy, or more in the middle; however, occasionally the pain may be in the RUQ area. It is usually associated with diarrhoea and/or being sick (vomiting). You may have a mild fever. See the separate leaflet called Gastroenteritis for more information,Indigestion (dyspepsia) can give you a pain in the upper part of your tummy, along with bloating and acid reflux. See the separate leaflet called Indigestion (Dyspepsia) for more information,Longer-term conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can give rise to pain anywhere in the tummy at times. They usually cause loose stools, sometimes with blood. See the separate leaflets called Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis for more information.The right upper quadrant is not a common place for pain in irritable bowel syndrome, but in some people it may occur. Pain is usually on and off and accompanied by bloating and diarrhoea and/or constipation. See the separate leaflet called Irritable Bowel Syndrome for more information,

What is the diagnosis for RUQ?

Differential diagnosis – The differential diagnosis of right upper quadrant abdominal pain is broad including liver and gallbladder disorders, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatic disorders, pyelonephritis, nephrolithiasis, pulmonary disorders and malignancy.

• Extensive work-up including laboratory tests and imaging studies performed in our patient discarded these possibilities.
• The diagnosis of PAN in our patient was made by angiography.
• According to Hekali et al 12 the angiographic diagnosis of PAN has a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 90%, being aneurysms the most common finding.

As in our case, when only mesenteric or hepatic arteries are involved tissue biopsy confers a high risk for bleeding and other complications; therefore, angiography turns into a vital tool for diagnosis.

What 3 organs are in the RUQ?

Right upper quadrant organs – The various viscera, or organs, found in the right upper quadrant are:

Right lobe of the liver Gallbladder Pylorus of stomach Duodenum Head of pancreas Right kidney with right suprarenal gland Right colic flexure Superior part of ascending colon Right half of transverse colon.

The most clinically relevant organs that manifest themselves as symptomatic in a patient reporting right upper abdominal pain are the liver, gallbladder, duodenum and head of the pancreas, The liver and gallbladder, along with the biliary tree, occupy the majority of the region and will be the main focus of this article.

Is RUQ pain serious?

Medically Reviewed by Sanjay Ponkshe on May 06, 2023 Several health conditions can cause pain in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of your abdomen, Pain in your abdomen can be hard to diagnose because it holds so many organs. Doctors describe your abdomen in sections or quadrants to help find the organs that might be the cause of any health problems.

Liver GallbladderLarge intestineSmall intestine Stomach Pancreas Right kidney

To find your RUQ, look down at your belly and imagine a vertical line through the center. Then imagine a second horizontal line across your belly. This divides your abdomen into four sections. The upper right section near your ribs is the right upper quadrant. Depending on the organ involved, you might have many different symptoms along with the pain in your abdomen. These might include:

Fever Nausea VomitingDiarrheaSwelling in your abdomen Yellow skin Blood in your stoolTenderness in your abdomenPain when you take a breath

You might experience different kinds of pain. Most of the time, pain in your abdomen is minor and simply a discomfort. Depending on the organ and the condition, sometimes these can be serious. Severe abdominal pain, Acute and severe pain comes on very quickly.

DullVagueNauseatingHard to pinpoint

Referred pain, Sometimes problems with organs in your abdomen might cause pain in a different part of your body. For example, a problem with your gallbladder might cause pain in your abdomen but also in your right shoulder. This is called referred pain,

• Somatic pain.
• This kind of pain comes from nerves responding to a problem in the abdominal cavity.
• You have a membrane that lines your abdomen called the peritoneum,
• The nerves here can respond to irritation or cutting.
• This usually gives you very sharp pain that’s easy to pinpoint.
• This kind of pain is usually caused by infections in your organs.

Liquids leak out and irritate the lining, causing pain and a condition called peritonitis, There can be several causes for right upper quadrant pain. The most common causes include:

Gallbladder problems Gallstones CholecystitisKidney problemsInfection Kidney stones Urinary tract infectionCancerPancreas problems Pancreatitis PeritonitisStomach problemsPeptic ulcersIndigestion Gastritis Liver problemsInfectionAbscessInflammation

In some cases like indigestion and gastritis, this might cause mild symptoms like burping, gas, bloating, and pain. This can be caused by eating certain foods and may be minor. Other conditions like sudden pancreatitis and peritonitis are serious and might cause sudden and severe symptoms.

The cause of your pain will determine the kind of treatment you get. Your doctor will do different tests to determine the cause. This might include a physical examination where they feel and tap your abdomen. This is called palpating. They will feel your abdomen for masses, if you involuntarily contract your muscles during touch, if the muscles stay tight even when they’re not being touched, or if you flinch with pain.

They will also look for how sensitive you are to touch. If you have these signs, you might have peritonitis. Your doctor might also do other tests, including:

Computed tomography (CT) scanUltrasoundBlood testUrine tests

These tests can help look for inflammation and swelling in your organs. Urine tests will help identify kidney stones or infections. Your doctor will treat you depending on what these tests show. You might receive:

Antibiotics for infectionsAntacids for indigestionSurgery to remove stonesHospitalization for surgery and to receive fluidsPancreatic enzymes for pancreas supportPain relievers

It’s a good idea not to take pain relievers, though, until you figure out what’s causing the problem. Pain relievers can sometimes mask a more serious condition, which could harm your health. Pain in the right upper quadrant can be a sign of a serious health condition. If you have the following symptoms, you should go to the hospital right away:

Severe painFast heartbeatSweatingConfusion Low blood pressure Swelling in your abdomenPain that makes you double overPain that gets worse when you touch your abdomen Throwing up blood Throwing up what looks like coffee grounds

If you don’t have emergency signs but have pain and other symptoms, you should see your doctor as soon as you can.

What two organs are in the RUQ?

Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ): contains the liver (right lobe), gallbladder, part of the pancreas, parts of the small and large intestines.

How do you assess for RUQ pain?

The initial imaging tests in patients with RUQ pain should be radiographs of the chest and abdomen. These are rapid and inexpensive ways of evaluating the patient for pul- monary and intestinal sources of pain. In addition, abdom- inal radiographs can detect calcifications in the kidney, ureter, appendix, and pancreas.

What is the best test for RUQ pain?

Right upper quadrant pain is a common problem. Although it can be difficult to detect the cause, g allbladder inflammation is the most common concern. Imaging can be helpful to find the source of the pain. Ultrasound (US) abdomen is usually appropriate as the first imaging test for those with right upper quadrant abdominal pain.

Other imaging tests may also be appropriate: CT abdomen with intravenous (IV) contrast, MRI abdomen without and with IV contrast with MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), MRI abdomen without IV contrast with MRCP, Tc-99m cholescintigraphy (tracking a tracer given by IV from the liver into the gallbladder and small intestine), and CT abdomen without IV contrast.
