T32.8: Corrosions involving 80-89% of body surface

Corrosions involving 80-89% of body surface, as the name suggests, is a medically serious condition where burns or corrosive damage covers a substantial majority of the patient's body. This damage can be caused by exposure to very high temperatures, strong acids, alkalis, or other corrosive materials. This level of skin damage can present a range of symptoms including intense pain, blistering, skin discoloration, and potential skin loss. Beyond just the skin, crucial internal systems can be fatally affected such as circulation and temperature regulation, and complications can include dehydration, infections and organ failure. It's important to know that the extent and severity of the damage can greatly influence the course of the disease and its potential outcomes. It is a critical condition requiring immediate and intensive care.
