The ICD-10 code for MDR3 Deficiency is E80.6. MDR3 Deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the liver's ability to transport certain substances. It can lead to liver disease and other complications. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for MDR3 Deficiency as the ICD-9 system does not have a direct equivalent for this condition. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
MDR3 deficiency, also known as Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired bile flow from liver cells. It is caused by mutations in the ABCB4 gene, which encodes the multidrug resistance 3 (MDR3) protein responsible for transporting phospholipids into bile. The deficiency of MDR3 leads to the accumulation of toxic bile acids in the liver, resulting in liver damage and related complications.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for MDR3 deficiency is K83.01. This code falls under the category of "Other diseases of biliary tract," specifically referring to "Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis." The ICD-10 code K83.01 provides a standardized way to classify and document this specific diagnosis for medical and statistical purposes.
In the previous version of the classification system, the 9th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9), the equivalent code for MDR3 deficiency was 576.8. This code fell under the category of "Other disorders of the biliary tract," specifically referring to "Other specified disorders of the biliary tract." The ICD-9 code 576.8 allowed healthcare providers to identify and document this condition in medical records and claims.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, and healthcare providers are now required to use ICD-10 codes for diagnosis coding. The ICD-10 system provides more specificity and detail compared to its predecessor, allowing for better tracking, research, and analysis of various diseases and conditions.
