The ICD-10 code for Hereditary Fructose Intolerance is E74.1. In the ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code is 271.2. Hereditary Fructose Intolerance is a rare genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to break down fructose. It can lead to severe symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and failure to thrive. Early diagnosis and dietary management are crucial for individuals with this condition.
Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI) is a rare genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to metabolize fructose, a type of sugar found in various fruits, vegetables, and sweeteners. The ICD-10 code for Hereditary Fructose Intolerance is E74.1. This code specifically identifies the condition and helps healthcare professionals accurately document and classify the disease for medical billing and statistical purposes.
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Hereditary Fructose Intolerance is 271.2. However, it is important to note that as of October 1, 2015, the World Health Organization transitioned from ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding system for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, healthcare providers primarily use the ICD-10 code (E74.1) to identify and classify Hereditary Fructose Intolerance.
It's crucial for individuals with HFI to carefully manage their diet and avoid consuming fructose-containing foods and beverages to prevent potentially serious symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and low blood sugar. Early diagnosis and proper management are key to ensuring a healthy and fulfilling life for those affected by this condition.
