About coding respiration kussmaul's
The ICD-10-CM code for respiration kussmaul's is E87.29 (Other acidosis).
Within E87.2, choose E87.29 (Other acidosis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified (E87.20), acute metabolic acidosis (E87.21) and chronic metabolic acidosis (E87.22).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of E87.29, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: acute respiratory acidosis (J96.02) and chronic respiratory acidosis (J96.12).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
