How to code Edema

R60.0 is localized edema, used for swelling of a specific area such as the legs, ankles, or feet. R60.1 is generalized edema (anasarca), and R60.9 is edema, unspecified, including fluid retention not otherwise specified.

R60 is a symptom code and is not reported when the edema is due to a diagnosed condition. Common causes have their own codes: heart failure I50.9, chronic venous insufficiency I87.2, lymphedema I89.0, fluid overload E87.70, and nephrotic syndrome N04.9. Angioedema is T78.3XXA and edema in pregnancy is coded from O12.0-, such as O12.00.
