ICD10 code of Porphyria and ICD9 code

Porphyria is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the production of heme, a component of hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the blood. There are several types of porphyria, each with its own specific symptoms and underlying genetic mutations. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a coding system for medical conditions, including porphyria.

The ICD-10 code for porphyria depends on the specific type. Here are some examples:

1. Acute intermittent porphyria: The ICD-10 code for this type of porphyria is E80.21.
2. Porphyria cutanea tarda: The ICD-10 code for this type is E80.2.
3. Congenital erythropoietic porphyria: The ICD-10 code for this type is E80.0.
4. Variegate porphyria: The ICD-10 code for this type is E80.3.

It is important to note that there are many other types of porphyria, each with its own unique ICD-10 code. These codes are used by healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis, billing, and research purposes.

In terms of the ICD-9 code, the 9th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, it is no longer in use as ICD-10 has replaced it. However, for reference, the ICD-9 code for porphyria was 277.1.

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of porphyria or any other medical condition.
