Oth organ or system involv in systemic lupus erythematosus

This code signifies systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with manifestations affecting organ systems beyond those specifically classified elsewhere (e.g., renal, cardiac, pulmonary, neurological). It's used when the patient exhibits SLE-related damage or dysfunction in other body systems not covered by more specific M32.1 subcategories.

Apply this code when documentation indicates SLE involvement of organ systems such as the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., lupus enteritis, pancreatitis), hematologic system (e.g., autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia not otherwise specified as part of SLE), or musculoskeletal system (e.g., myositis, arthritis, when not the primary manifestation coded elsewhere). The medical record must clearly state the specific organ or system affected by SLE.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code for systemic lupus erythematosus (M32.1-).
• Ensure the documentation specifies the "other" organ or system involved; avoid using this code if a more specific M32.1 subcategory applies.
• Do not use this code for manifestations already covered by M32.10 (organ or system involvement unspecified), M32.11 (renal involvement), M32.12 (cardiac involvement), M32.13 (pulmonary involvement), or M32.14 (neurological involvement).
