    Under the proposal, the ICD-9-CM code sets would be replaced with the ICD-10-CM code sets, effective October 1, 2013. On April 17, 2012, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a proposed rule that would delay the compliance date for the ICD-10-CM and PCS by 12 months-from October 1, 2013, to October 1, 2014.

    disorders of exocrine pancreatic function, such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis and Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (these are characterized by deficiency of pancreatic digestive enzymes) celiac disease (in which the fat malabsorption in severe cases is due to inflammatory damage to the integrity of the intestinal lining)

    [26] [27] As a result of screening, the diagnosis is increasingly being made in people who have no symptoms. [28] Evidence regarding the effects of screening, however, is not sufficient to determine its usefulness. [29] While the disease is caused by a permanent intolerance to gluten proteins, [10] it is distinct from wheat allergy, which is ...

    Most attention to anti-transglutaminase antibodies is given with respect to celiac disease. A recent study of children published in 2007 demonstrated that the level of ATA in correlates with the scalar Marsh score for the disease in the same patient. [9] High levels of ATA are found in almost all instances of celiac disease. [10]

    The ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS were developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). [ 48 ] [ 49 ] There are over 70,000 ICD-10-PCS procedure codes and over 69,000 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, compared to about 3,800 procedure codes and roughly 14,000 diagnosis codes found in ...

  7. Duodenal lymphocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodenal_lymphocytosis

    As antibody-negative coeliac disease is recognised, HLA status, persistence or progression of the duodenal IEL numbers following a gluten challenge, followed by symptomatic improvement on a gluten-free diet, has been used to be more certain about the diagnosis, which was made in 22% of one series of over 200 adult cases.

  8. Microvillous inclusion disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvillous_inclusion_disease

    The appearance of microvillous inclusion disease on light microscopy is similar to celiac sprue; however, it usually lacks the intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltration characteristic of celiac sprue and stains positive for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). [2] The definitive diagnosis is dependent on electron microscopy. [8]

  9. Gluten-related disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-related_disorders

    The results of a 2017 study suggest that non-celiac gluten sensitivity may be a chronic disorder, as is the case with celiac disease. [ 42 ] For people with wheat allergy , the individual average is six years of gluten-free diet, excepting persons with anaphylaxis, for whom the diet is to be wheat-free for life.
