Answer:
In a patient underwent a single contrast upper GI series on Tuesday due to severe daily esophageal burning for six weeks, whose radiological diagnostic impression was Barrett's esophagus.
- <u><em>Day of encounter</em></u><em>: </em><em>Tuesday
</em>
- <u><em>Diagnosis Code</em></u><em>: K 22.7 </em><em>(CIE-10 code for Barrett's Esophagus)</em><em>
</em>
- <u><em>Procedure Code</em></u><em>: 74240</em>
Explanation:
Barrett's esophagus is a clinical condition characterized by a change in the esophageal epithelium due to repeated exposure to gastric juices, by reflux, or other mucosal irritants.
Corrosive agents are considered to produce a change in the epithelium called metaplasia, associated with symptoms of esophageal burning and pain.
The ICD-10 code for Barrett's esophagus is K 22.7.
The procedure, which consists of a radiological examination of the upper digestive tract with the use of barium contrast has a code of 74240, which describes this type of radiological examination.
Anatomical and physiological barriers provide the crucial first line of defense against pathogens. These barriers include intact skin, vigorous mucociliary clearance mechanisms, low stomach pH and bacteriolytic lysozyme in tears, saliva and other secretions.
