Diseases of the respiratory system - J00-J99
Diseases of the Respiratory System - This chapter addresses respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia.
Chapter notes often provide a brief overview or description of the conditions and diseases covered within that specific chapter. This helps users understand the scope and content of the chapter.
Chapter Notes:
- When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, it should be classified to the lower anatomic site (e.g. tracheobronchitis to bronchitis in J40).
Use Additional Code: This note indicates that an additional code should be used in conjunction with the primary code "J" to provide a complete picture of the patient's condition or to capture associated factors.
Use Additional:
- code, where applicable, to identify:
- exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22)
- exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period (P96.81)
- history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891)
- occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31)
- tobacco dependence (F17.-)
- tobacco use (Z72.0)
Excludes2: This note means that the conditions described by two codes are not usually associated with each other but can sometimes occur together.
Type 2 Excludes:
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- smoke inhalation (T59.81-)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
These ranges represents sections of Diseases of the respiratory system. The "J" signifies that these are the diseases within this broad chapter.

- J00-J06 - Acute upper respiratory infections
- J09-J18 - Influenza and pneumonia
- J20-J22 - Other acute lower respiratory infections
- J30-J39 - Other diseases of upper respiratory tract
- J40-J4A - Chronic lower respiratory diseases
- J60-J70 - Lung diseases due to external agents
- J80-J84 - Other respiratory diseases principally affecting the interstitium
- J85-J86 - Suppurative and necrotic conditions of the lower respiratory tract
- J90-J94 - Other diseases of the pleura
- J95 - Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified
- J96-J99 - Other diseases of the respiratory system
