ICD10 code of Hashimotos Disease and ICD9 code

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland. The ICD-10 code for Hashimoto's disease is E06.3. This code falls under the category of "Other chronic thyroiditis" in the ICD-10 classification system.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Hashimoto's disease is 245.2. This code represents "Thyroiditis, other and unspecified," and it is classified under the broader category of "Disorders of the Thyroid Gland" in the ICD-9 system.

Hashimoto's disease is characterized by chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland, leading to an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). It is usually diagnosed through blood tests that measure thyroid hormone levels and the presence of specific antibodies associated with the disease.

If you suspect you have Hashimoto's disease, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management. They will be able to provide the necessary guidance and treatment options to help manage your condition effectively.
