K80-K87: Disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas

K87: Disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas in diseases classified elsewhere

Disorders of the gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreas in diseases classified elsewhere are medical conditions that cause disruptions primarily in the digestive system. They usually occur secondary to another principal disease. Typically, these disorders manifest due to complications from diseases such as cancer, infections, inflammations, or chronic illnesses that affect other parts of the body but indirectly lead to abnormal functioning in these digestive organs. Symptoms commonly observed include upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, fever, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). The progression and severity of these disorders can be influenced by the primary disease's nature and severity and the patient's overall health condition. It is crucial to understand that the gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreas play vital roles in our body's digestive and detoxification processes. Therefore, any conditions affecting their normal functioning can lead to serious health impairs.
