U07.6: Unassigned code U07.6
There is no diagnosis currently assigned to this ICD code.
A diagnosis is the result of a test. In general, a diagnosis puts a name to a disorder. But particular circumstances or specific measures can also be classified as a diagnosis. ICD codes are used to precisely record medical diagnoses.
The ICD codes list is updated every year and adjusted to suit current understanding. However, diagnoses sometimes have to be added to this list very quickly. For this purpose, the list always includes some ICD codes to which no diagnosis has been assigned. If required, one of these codes is assigned to a new illness, for example. This was the case when the COVID-19 pandemic began, for example.
Additional indicator
On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.
- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
- A: Excluded diagnosis
- L: Left
- R: Right
- B: Both sides
