  D86.0  (SARCOIDOSIS OF LUNG) Sarcoidosis is a disease characterized by the growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) in any part of your body — most commonly the lungs and lymph nodes. But it can also affect the eyes, skin, heart and other organs. The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, but experts think it results from the body's immune system responding to an unknown substance. Some research suggests that infectious agents, chemicals, dust and a potential abnormal reaction to the body's own proteins (self-proteins) could be responsible for the formation of granulomas in people who are genetically predisposed. There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but most people do very well with no treatment or only modest treatment. In some cases, sarcoidosis goes away on its own. However, sarcoidosis may last for years and may cause organ damage. SYMPTOMS Signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis vary depending on which organs are affected. Sarcoidosis sometimes develops gradually ...

   D89.810  (ACUTE GRAFT VERSUS HOST DESEASE) Acute graft-versus-host disease  (GVHD) occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant and is a reaction of donor immune cells against host tissues. Activated donor T cells damage host epithelial cells after an inflammatory cascade that begins with the preparative regimen. GVHD usually goes away a year or so after the transplant, when your body starts to make its own white blood cells from the donor cells. But some people have to manage it for many years. Chronic graft-v-host disease (chronic GVHD) is a frequent cause of late morbidity and death after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The actuarial survival after onset of chronic GVHD in 85 patients was 42% (95%Cl = 29%, 54%) at 10 years. Acute GVHD disease usually involves a distinct set of clinical symptoms and signs that include dermatitis, or skin inflammation, is characterized by an itchy, red, and possibly painful rash.  So...

  E03.5 (MYXEDEMA COMA) Myxedema (crisis) coma is a loss of brain function as a result of the severe, longstanding low level of thyroid hormone in the blood (hypothyroidism). Myxedema coma is considered a rare life-threatening complication of hypothyroidism and represents one of the more serious sides of thyroid disease. SYMPTOMS #1 Weakness or lethargy. Confusion or non-responsiveness. Feeling cold. Low body temperature. Swelling of the body, especially the face, tongue, and lower legs. Difficulty breathing. Myxedema coma occurs as a result of long-standing, undiagnosed, or undertreated hypothyroidism and is usually precipitated by a systemic illness. Myxedema coma can result from any of the causes of hypothyroidism, most commonly chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. Treatment involves administering thyroid hormone replacement medication into a vein. Antibiotics, steroid treatment, and breathing support may be necessary also. A person may need breathing assista...

  E20.1 (PSEUDOHYPOPARA THYRODISM) Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a genetic disorder in which the body fails to respond to parathyroid hormone. A related condition is hypoparathyroidism, in which the body does not make enough parathyroid hormone. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is caused by  changes ( mutations ) in a number of different genes including the GNAS1 gene . When this gene is not working correctly, the body is not able to properly respond to parathyroid hormone , which increases the level of phosphorous in the blood and decreases the level of calcium. Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a state of parathyroid hormone resistance and is characterised by low serum calcium, and elevated serum phosphate and parathyroid hormone level. Association of PHP with autoimmune disorders is  rare  and seldom reported in the literature. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is  a hereditary disorder inherited either through X- linked dominant genes or through autosomal dominant g...
