This code represents a manifestation of an underlying disease. Coding convention requires the underlying (etiology) code to be sequenced first, with this code listed second.
- the underlying physiological condition, such as:
- Alzheimer's disease (G30.-)
- human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (B20)
- Huntington's disease (G10)
- Neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies (G31.83)

- systemic lupus erythematosus (M32.-)
- traumatic brain injury (S06.-)

- altered mental status (R41.82)
- cerebral degeneration (G31.9)
