R83-R89: Abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances and tissues, without diagnosis
This range of conditions, titled 'Abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances and tissues, without diagnosis', relates to the identification of possible health issues within the body that are as yet undiagnosed. These anomalies are identified via the examination of body fluids such as urine, blood, or other tissues taken from the body for analysis. These analyses can reveal unspecific deviations from the normal ranges, indicating that there may be an underlying issue or condition present. Common symptoms are not definitive due to the wide range of possible causes and can vary greatly from individual to individual. The disease progression, similarly, is dependent on the ultimate cause of the abnormality. The body systems affected are determined by the nature of the anomaly and therefore can include any part of the body. It's important to note that these findings don't provide a concrete diagnosis, rather they signal the need for further investigations to establish an accurate diagnosis.
