ICD10 code of Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome and ICD9 code

What is the ICD10 code for Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome?

ICD9 and ICD10 codes of Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome

The ICD-10 code for Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome is Gout, unspecified (M79.9). However, it is important to note that Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome is not specifically listed in the ICD-10 coding system. In the previous ICD-9 coding system, Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome was classified under the code 277.2, which represents other specified disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding information.
Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome (LNS) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), leading to excessive uric acid production and a range of neurological and behavioral symptoms. While I cannot provide a direct ICD-10 or ICD-9 code, I can explain how the condition is typically classified.

In the ICD-10 coding system, Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome would fall under the category of "Other specified metabolic disorders" (E79), specifically under the subcategory "Disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism" (E79.8). This subcategory encompasses various rare metabolic disorders related to abnormal purine and pyrimidine metabolism, including LNS.

In the older ICD-9 coding system, Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome would likely have been classified under the broader category of "Other disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism and other specified disorders of metabolism" (277.8). This category encompassed various metabolic disorders with similar underlying mechanisms, including LNS.

It is important to note that the exact ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes may vary depending on the specific edition and updates. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the official coding manuals or seek assistance from a healthcare professional or coder for the most accurate and up-to-date codes for Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome.
