ICD10 code of Leukodystrophy and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Leukodystrophy? And the ICD9 code for Leukodystrophy?
Leukodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that affects the growth and development of the myelin sheath, a protective covering around nerve fibers in the brain. The ICD-10 code for Leukodystrophy is G60.9, which falls under the broader category of "Hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy, unspecified." The ICD-9 code for this condition is 330.9, categorized as "Cerebral degenerations usually manifesting in childhood."
Leukodystrophy encompasses a group of disorders, each with its own specific ICD-10 code depending on the subtype. Some examples include Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (G60.1), Krabbe disease (E75.21), and Metachromatic leukodystrophy (E75.23). These codes assist healthcare providers in accurately documenting and classifying diagnoses for medical billing, research, and statistical purposes.
It's important to consult with a medical professional to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate ICD code for your specific case, as this response is general in nature and not personalized medical advice.

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (commonly known as the ICD) provides alpha-numeric codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury or disease. Nearly every health condition can be assigned to a unique category and given a code, up to six characters long. Such categories usually include a set of similar diseases.
