ICD-10 Clinic - Book 4: Infections and Metabolism

Your first body-system book, covering four chapters at once because they all work the same way: cause first, then what it caused. The sepsis ladder, from sepsis to severe sepsis to septic shock, with the minimum number of codes each one needs and the rule about which code can never come first. The HIV rules, including the one that lasts a lifetime. Organism codes and the three different MRSA situations. Then diabetes in full: the five categories, the default when the type is not documented, the complications built into the code, and the long-term drug status codes the Tabular List asks for. Plus the substance use hierarchy, dementia severity, and the anaemias that can never stand alone. Fifteen exercises with worked answers.

Twenty-five A4 pages, in full colour. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
