The ICD-10 code for GLUT1 deficiency is E74.810. This code is used to classify the disorder in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. Unfortunately, ICD-9 does not have a specific code for GLUT1 deficiency as it was introduced in ICD-10. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding information.
Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome, also known as GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the ability of cells to transport glucose into the brain. This condition is caused by mutations in the SLC2A1 gene, which encodes for the glucose transporter protein.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for GLUT1 deficiency syndrome is E74.810. The "E" in the code represents an endocrine, nutritional, or metabolic disorder, while "74" refers to carbohydrate metabolism disorders. The "810" indicates a specific subcategory for disorders related to glucose transport defects.
In the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), the code for GLUT1 deficiency syndrome was 271.8. This code fell under the category of "other disorders of carbohydrate transport and metabolism."
Both ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes are used for medical billing and coding purposes to classify and track various diseases and conditions. These codes help healthcare professionals, researchers, and insurance companies to accurately identify and document specific conditions for statistical and reimbursement purposes.
It is important to note that while the ICD codes provide a standardized system for classification, diagnosis, and treatment, they do not provide detailed information about the condition itself. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare providers to thoroughly review a patient's medical history, symptoms, and test results to make an accurate diagnosis of GLUT1 deficiency syndrome.
