Clinical Information
  • A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder that affects the pancreas. Representative examples of non-neoplastic disorders include pancreatitis and pancreatic insufficiency. Representative examples of neoplastic disorders include cystadenomas, carcinomas, lymphomas, and neuroendocrine neoplasms.
  • Pathological processes of the pancreas.
  • The pancreas is a gland behind your stomach and in front of your spine. It produces juices that help break down food and hormones that help control blood sugar levels. Problems with the pancreas can lead to many health problems. These include
    • pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas: this happens when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself
    • pancreatic cancer
    • cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder in which thick, sticky mucus can also block tubes in your pancreas
    the pancreas also plays a role in diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked them. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in response to meals.
ICD-10-CM K86.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
