Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by defective bone and teeth mineralization. The ICD-10 code for Hypophosphatasia is E83.3. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for Hypophosphatasia as it was not included in the ICD-9 classification system. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding.
Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by low levels of an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase. This enzyme is essential for the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth. The disease manifests in various forms, ranging from mild to severe, and can occur at any age.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Hypophosphatasia is classified under the code E83.3. This code falls under the category of "Disorders of phosphorus metabolism and phosphatases." It specifically identifies the condition as a disorder related to the metabolism of inorganic phosphorus, which leads to low alkaline phosphatase activity. The code E83.3 is used for both congenital and acquired forms of Hypophosphatasia.
In the previous revision, the ICD-9 code for Hypophosphatasia was 275.9. This code, found in the category "Disorders of minerals and metabolism," was a more general code for disorders related to disturbances in phosphorus metabolism. However, it did not specifically identify Hypophosphatasia as a distinct condition.
It is important to note that the ICD codes are used for medical documentation, billing purposes, and statistical analysis. They provide a standardized way to classify and identify various diseases and conditions. However, they do not provide detailed information about the specific symptoms, severity, or treatment options for a particular condition.
Please consult with a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for accurate coding and further information about Hypophosphatasia.
