ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 7: Digestive and Urinary Cases

Two body systems that share one habit: their codes carry an extra fact the record has to supply. A digestive code usually asks whether there was bleeding, an obstruction or a perforation. A kidney code asks for a stage, and then asks what caused it. This book covers ulcers and bleeding, the gallbladder, the bowel, the liver, then chronic kidney disease with its combination codes and chains, urinary infection by site, and dialysis status.

The ten chapters:

1. Ulcers and the four-way question

2. Bleeding

3. Appendix, gallbladder, bowel

4. Diverticular disease

5. The liver

6. Chronic kidney disease by stage

7. Chains of three

8. Acute against chronic

9. Urinary infection by site

10. Dialysis and transplant

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour, with a two-page Coding Lab that works a full record step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.
