Reactive Airway Disease ICD-10-CM Codes | 2025

The diagnosis of RAD is typically made based on the patient's medical history, symptoms, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests. Diagnostic tests, such as bronchoprovocation or allergy testing, may be conducted to assess airway reactivity or identify triggers.

Common symptoms of RAD include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. These symptoms may be triggered by exposure to allergens, irritants, exercise, or respiratory infections.

The treatment of RAD aims to control symptoms, reduce airway inflammation, and prevent exacerbations. It often includes bronchodilators (such as short-acting beta-agonists), inhaled corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, and environmental modifications (e.g., avoiding triggers, improving indoor air quality).
