R10.11 diagnosis code: Right upper quadrant pain
- R10.11 is an ICD-10-CM diagnosis code used for billing and diagnosis in medical reports.
- This code refers to right upper quadrant pain, which generally indicates discomfort in the upper right section of the abdomen.
- This region includes parts of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, and right kidney, meaning that pain could signal issues with any of these organs in the upper quadrant of the digestive system.
- It's important to note that this is a non-specific code that only denotes the location and presence of pain, not its cause. This falls under the category of symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified, specifically those symptoms and signs involving abdominal and pelvic pain.
