The ICD10 code for Dubin-Johnson syndrome is E80.6. In the ICD9 coding system, it is represented by 277.4. Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired liver function, resulting in the accumulation of a pigment called bilirubin in liver cells. This condition is typically benign and does not cause significant health problems. Diagnosis is made through clinical evaluation, liver function tests, and genetic testing.
Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the liver's ability to properly process and excrete bilirubin, leading to its buildup in the body. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Dubin-Johnson syndrome is classified under the code E80.6. This code specifically represents disorders of bilirubin excretion, including Dubin-Johnson syndrome.
On the other hand, in the previous edition of the classification, the ICD-9 code for Dubin-Johnson syndrome was 277.4. This code fell under the category of "Disorders of Bilirubin Metabolism," which encompassed several conditions related to impaired bilirubin processing and excretion.
It's important to note that ICD codes are used for medical billing, research, and statistics purposes. These codes provide a standardized way to categorize and identify specific diseases or health conditions. By using these codes, healthcare professionals can communicate effectively, insurers can process claims accurately, and researchers can analyze data consistently.
