ICD10 code of Addison Disease and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Addison Disease? And the ICD9 code for Addison Disease?
Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency, is a rare disorder characterized by the inadequate production of hormones by the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing vital hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone, which play crucial roles in regulating various bodily functions.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), Addison's disease is assigned the code E27.1. This code falls under the category of "Disorders of Adrenal Glands" and specifically refers to "Primary adrenocortical insufficiency." The ICD-10 code system is widely used internationally to classify and code various medical conditions, allowing for standardized documentation and billing processes.
In the previous edition, the Ninth Revision (ICD-9), Addison's disease was assigned the code 255.4. This code fell under the section "Disorders of the Adrenal Glands and Other Syndromes Primarily Involving the Adrenal Glands." The ICD-9 code system was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10 and has been gradually phased out in favor of the newer classification system.
It is important to note that ICD codes are regularly updated to reflect advancements in medical knowledge and terminology. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to stay updated with the latest code revisions to accurately document and report medical conditions. Addison's disease is a chronic condition that requires lifelong management, and proper coding helps ensure appropriate treatment, insurance coverage, and research analysis.

Clinical Information
A hormonal disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands fail to release adequate amounts of glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone, 11-deoxycorticosterone), and androgens (dehydroepiandrosterone) to meet physiologic needs, despite release of acth from the pituitary.
A rare endocrine or hormonal disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. It may be due to a disorder of the adrenal glands themselves (primary adrenal insufficiency) or to inadequate secretion of acth by the pituitary gland (secondary adrenal insufficiency).
An adrenal disease characterized by the progressive destruction of the adrenal cortex, resulting in insufficient production of aldosterone and hydrocortisone. Clinical symptoms include anorexia; nausea; weight loss; muscle weakness; and hyperpigmentation of the skin due to increase in circulating levels of acth precursor hormone which stimulates melanocytes.
Disease characterized by hypotension, weight loss, anorexia, weakness, and sometimes a bronze-like melanotic hyperpigmentation of the skin; due to tuberculosis or autoimmune induced disease (hypofunction) of the adrenal glands that results in deficiency of aldosterone and cortisol.
Your adrenal glands are just above your kidneys. The outside layer of these glands makes hormones that help your body respond to stress and regulate your blood pressure and water and salt balance. Addison's disease happens if the adrenal glands don't make enough of these hormones. A problem with your immune system usually causes addison's disease. The immune system mistakenly attacks your own tissues, damaging your adrenal glands. Other causes include infections and cancer. Symptoms include
weight loss
muscle weakness
fatigue that gets worse over time
low blood pressure
patchy or dark skin
lab tests can confirm that you have addison's disease. If you don't treat it, it can be fatal. You will need to take hormone pills for the rest of your life. If you have addison's disease, you should carry an emergency id. It should say that you have the disease, list your medicines and say how much you need in an emergency.
