K90-K93: Other diseases of the digestive system
K93: Disorders of other digestive organs in diseases classified elsewhere
The ICD-10 code K93 refers to a range of conditions that are categorized as "Disorders of other digestive organs in diseases classified elsewhere." This label encompasses medical conditions that primarily involve damage or dysfunction of the digestive organs, but are secondary to another primary disease or condition. These conditions may involve organs like the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and the intestine, among others. Transmission and progression can depend greatly on the underlying disease causing these complications. Common symptoms can include abdominal pain, changes in bowel pattern, unexplained weight loss, and digestive problems. It is important to note that the existence of these secondary complications can often imply a serious progression of the primary disease, therefore, direct diagnosis and management of the primary disease is crucial.
