2008 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 787.91

Diarrhea

  • A condition of frequent and watery bowel movements.
  • Abnormal frequency and fluidity of feces.
  • An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.
