ICD Code K92-

ICD code K92- is used to classify other diseases of the digestive system, specifically those involving gastrointestinal hemorrhage and other specified or unspecified digestive disorders not classified elsewhere.

1. Presence of gastrointestinal bleeding without a clearly identified source after appropriate diagnostic evaluation

2. Symptoms such as hematemesis (vomiting blood), melena (black, tarry stools), or hematochezia (passage of fresh blood per rectum)

3. Absence of endoscopically or radiologically confirmed lesions explaining the bleeding

4. Laboratory findings indicating anemia or decreased hemoglobin/hematocrit levels consistent with blood loss

5. Exclusion of bleeding disorders or systemic conditions as the primary cause of bleeding

6. Documentation of acute or chronic blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract without a definitive anatomical diagnosis
