R83-R89: Abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances and tissues, without diagnosis

R85: Abnormal findings in specimens from digestive organs and abdominal cavity

Abnormal findings in specimens from digestive organs and abdominal cavity belong to a group of medical conditions where test results reveal unusual findings. The specimens for these tests are typically obtained by biopsies, stool tests, or fluid samples collected from the organs or cavity in question. It's important to note that an abnormal result does not necessarily indicate a severe or dangerous condition. Abnormal findings can be due to various reasons ranging from infections, inflammation, benign growths, to possible malignancies. They can reveal issues located anywhere within the digestive system - from the esophagus to the large intestine - or in the abdominal cavity. Symptoms linked to these findings might include abdominal discomfort, digestive issues, weight loss, or changes in appetite. However, in many cases, the abnormal findings might be identified in the absence of any noticeable symptoms during preventive screenings. The progression of the condition causing abnormal findings can vary greatly based on the specific diagnosis determined through further investigations.
