Z87: Personal history of other diseases and conditions
Personal history of other diseases and conditions, coded as Z87 in the ICD-10, refers to a patient's prior diagnosis or diagnoses that aren't currently active but can still influence current health or future disease risk. This group of conditions could include a wide array of health issues, ranging from a past bout of pneumonia to a history of broken bones, cancer remissions, or past heart disease. How these conditions were contracted or developed would vary widely, as they can embody infectious diseases, conditions caused by lifestyle factors, genetic disorders, and past injuries. Even though these conditions are no longer active, they might still produce some lingering symptoms or increase the risk for certain diseases. For example, a person who had a previous heart attack might have a higher risk for future cardiovascular events. This group of conditions could affect any part of the body, depending on the specific history of the patient.
