Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by gastrointestinal dysmotility, peripheral neuropathy, and progressive muscle weakness. The ICD-10 code for MNGIE is E88.42. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for MNGIE as it was replaced by ICD-10 in 2015. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding.
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body. It is characterized by a range of symptoms involving the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, and muscles. MNGIE is caused by mutations in the TYMP gene, which leads to the deficiency of the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase.
Unfortunately, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), does not have a specific code for MNGIE. However, since MNGIE affects multiple systems, healthcare professionals may assign multiple ICD-10 codes to capture the various symptoms and complications associated with the condition. These codes would reflect the specific manifestations or organ systems involved.
For example, if a patient with MNGIE presents with gastrointestinal symptoms such as malabsorption or diarrhea, the ICD-10 code K90.89 (Other intestinal malabsorption) may be used. Similarly, if the patient experiences neurological symptoms like peripheral neuropathy or encephalopathy, codes from the G60-G64 range (Polyneuropathies and other disorders of the peripheral nervous system) might be assigned.
In terms of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), the specific code for MNGIE is also not available. However, as with ICD-10, healthcare providers would assign multiple ICD-9 codes to capture the different symptoms and complications experienced by individuals with MNGIE.
While specific codes for MNGIE are not available in either ICD-10 or ICD-9, the comprehensive nature of these classification systems allows healthcare professionals to accurately document and code the various manifestations of the condition, ensuring appropriate treatment and tracking of the disease.
