ICD Code M32-

ICD code M32- is systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and tissues throughout the body.

1. Presence of a multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of autoantibodies.

2. Clinical evidence of involvement of at least one organ system, such as skin, joints, kidneys, serous membranes, or hematologic system.

3. Symptoms may include malar rash, discoid rash, photosensitivity, oral or nasal ulcers, nonerosive arthritis, serositis, renal disorder (e.g., proteinuria), neurologic disorder (e.g., seizures or psychosis), hematologic abnormalities (e.g., anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia), and immunologic abnormalities.

4. Laboratory findings supporting diagnosis, such as positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test, anti-dsDNA, anti-Smith, or antiphospholipid antibodies.

5. Exclusion of other conditions that could explain the clinical and laboratory findings.
