What is the ICD10 code for Alport Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Alport Syndrome?
Alport Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the kidneys and can lead to hearing and vision problems. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Alport Syndrome is classified under Nephritis and Nephropathy, not specified as acute or chronic. The specific code for Alport Syndrome in ICD-10 is N08.5.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Alport Syndrome was not specifically identified as a separate entity. However, it would typically fall under the broader category of hereditary nephropathy, which is coded as 583.81 in ICD-9.
Please note that ICD codes are used for medical billing, statistical purposes, and research. They help healthcare providers and insurance companies to accurately identify and classify various diseases and conditions. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for any medical condition.
