K59.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other specified functional intestinal disorders. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code K598 is used to code Intestinal pseudoobstruction

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a clinical syndrome caused by severe impairment in the ability of the intestines to push food through. It is characterised by the signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction without any lesion in the intestinal lumen. Clinical features can include abdominal pain, nausea, severe distension, vomiting, dysphagia, diarrhea and constipation, depending upon the part of the gastrointestinal tract involved. The condition can begin at any age and it can be a primary condition (idiopathic or inherited) or caused by another disease (secondary).
