Hyper IgM Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired immune system function. The ICD10 code for Hyper IgM Syndrome is D80.0. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD9 code for this condition as it has been replaced by the ICD10 coding system. Hyper IgM Syndrome is typically diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and genetic testing.
Hyper IgM syndrome is a rare genetic immunodeficiency disorder characterized by impaired production of immunoglobulin (Ig) class-switching from IgM to other antibody classes. This condition leads to recurrent infections, particularly of the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. The ICD-10 code for Hyper IgM syndrome is D81.4.
In the previous version of the International Classification of Diseases, ICD-9, there were no specific codes for Hyper IgM syndrome. However, the condition could have been classified under a broader category such as "Other specified immunodeficiencies" (ICD-9 code 279.8) or "Immunodeficiency with predominantly antibody defects" (ICD-9 code 279.0).
It is important to note that ICD codes are used for medical billing, statistical purposes, and insurance reimbursement. They help healthcare providers classify and document various diseases and conditions. These codes are regularly updated to ensure accurate and efficient classification of diseases.
Hyper IgM syndrome is a complex disorder that requires specialized medical attention. It is essential for individuals with this condition to work closely with healthcare professionals who can provide appropriate treatment and management strategies to minimize the risk of infections and associated complications.
