ICD10 code of Cushing Syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Cushing Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Cushing Syndrome?
The ICD-10 code for Cushing Syndrome is E24. It is a disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol hormone. Symptoms include weight gain, high blood pressure, and muscle weakness. The ICD-9 code for Cushing Syndrome is 255.0. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Cushing Syndrome is a medical condition characterized by an excessive level of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code to identify this condition. The ICD-10 code for Cushing Syndrome is E24.
In contrast, the previous revision, ICD-9, had a different coding system. The corresponding ICD-9 code for Cushing Syndrome is 255.0. This code was used to classify and track cases of Cushing Syndrome before the implementation of ICD-10.
Cushing Syndrome can be caused by various factors, including the prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, adrenal gland tumors, or excessive production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the pituitary gland. It is associated with symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, muscle weakness, and changes in the appearance of the face and body.
Accurate coding using ICD-10 is crucial for healthcare providers, insurance companies, and researchers to track the prevalence and incidence of Cushing Syndrome. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 allows for more precise classification and documentation of medical conditions, enabling better analysis of healthcare data and improving patient care.
