ICD10 code of Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency and ICD9 code

Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency, also known as Complex IV Deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the function of cytochrome C oxidase, an enzyme involved in the last step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This deficiency leads to impaired energy production within cells and can result in various symptoms, including muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, developmental delays, and organ dysfunction.

The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), provides a coding system used by healthcare professionals to classify and identify diseases. The specific ICD-10 code for Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency is E88.42. This code falls under the category of "Other metabolic disorders" (E70-E88) and specifically relates to "Mitochondrial metabolism disorders."

On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), was the previous version of the coding system used before the implementation of ICD-10. The corresponding ICD-9 code for Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency is 277.85. In ICD-9, this code falls under the category of "Other specified disorders of metabolism" (277) and specifically relates to "Disorders of mitochondrial metabolism."

These ICD codes are essential for healthcare professionals as they allow for standardized documentation, billing, and research purposes. They facilitate effective communication and understanding among medical professionals regarding specific diagnoses, facilitating appropriate treatment and management strategies for patients with Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency.
