M80-M85: Disorders of bone density and structure
M82: Osteoporosis in diseases classified elsewhere
Osteoporosis in diseases classified elsewhere, as categorized under the ICD-10 code M82, refers to a condition where the bones become weak and brittle due to underlying diseases or conditions. In such scenarios, osteoporosis isn't the primary problem but a complication derived from another disease. Diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, malabsorption syndromes, or long-term use of certain medications like corticosteroids can lead to osteoporosis. This form of osteoporosis presents similarly to primary osteoporosis with symptoms including fragile bones that can break easily, even with minor injury, decrease in height, back pain, and a stooped posture. Over time, the condition can progress with increasing skeletal weakness, leading to multiple fractures and physical disability. Both the skeletal system and the overall body health can be significantly compromised in this scenario.
