I80-I89: Diseases of veins, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, not elsewhere classified
I89: Other noninfective disorders of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes
The ICD-10 code group I89 pertains to other noninfective disorders of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, denoting medical conditions that afflict the body's lymphatic system in ways apart from infections. The lymphatic system, comprised of lymph vessels and nodes, is crucial for maintaining fluid balance in the body and for immune responses. These noninfective disorders arise due to various reasons such as blockages, malformations in the lymph vessels, or overproduction of lymph fluid, and they are not contagious. Common symptoms can include swelling, usually in the extremities like arms or legs, which is often the result of improper lymph fluid drainage. Depending on the specific disorder, other symptoms may occur, such as pain or skin changes. The progression and severity of these disorders can differ widely depending on individual circumstances and the particular disorder.
