K90-K93: Other diseases of the digestive system
K92: Other diseases of digestive system
The 'other diseases of the digestive system' (code K92) is a group of conditions affecting various parts of the digestive tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. The causes vary widely from genetic predispositions to environmental factors like diet and lifestyle. They typically present with a variety of symptoms, including stomach discomfort, heartburn, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, changes in appetite or weight, and jaundice. While some diseases are acute and may resolve with time or intervention, others become chronic, leading to a prolonged course that can significantly impact quality of life. Over time, these conditions may result in complications such as nutritional deficits, anemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, or organ damage. Both the progression and impact of these diseases largely depend on their nature and severity.
