The ICD-10 code for PEPCK Deficiency is E74.19. PEPCK Deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce glucose. It is characterized by severe hypoglycemia, developmental delay, and other symptoms. The ICD-9 code for this condition is 277.1. Proper diagnosis and management of PEPCK Deficiency are crucial for the well-being of affected individuals.
PEPCK Deficiency, also known as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce glucose, leading to low blood sugar levels. This condition is caused by mutations in the PCK1 or PCK2 genes, which are responsible for producing the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for PEPCK Deficiency is E74.19. This code falls under the category of "Other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism" in the "Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases" chapter. The specific code E74.19 denotes "Other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, unspecified."
On the other hand, in the previous edition of the classification, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), PEPCK Deficiency did not have a specific code. However, similar conditions related to carbohydrate metabolism were coded under 271.8, which represented "Other specified disorders of carbohydrate transport and metabolism."
It is important to note that the ICD-10 code provides more specificity compared to the ICD-9 code, allowing for better classification and identification of various disorders. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 has enabled healthcare professionals to have a more comprehensive understanding of different conditions, facilitating accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategies.
Overall, the ICD-10 code for PEPCK Deficiency is E74.19, while the ICD-9 code is 271.8, representing "Other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism."
