ICD10 code of Pseudohyperaldosteronism and ICD9 code

Pseudohyperaldosteronism, also known as apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME), is a rare genetic disorder that mimics the symptoms of primary hyperaldosteronism, a condition characterized by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone. However, in pseudohyperaldosteronism, there is a defect in the hormone receptor, leading to impaired response to aldosterone. This results in similar symptoms to hyperaldosteronism, such as hypertension, low potassium levels, and metabolic alkalosis.

In terms of coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for pseudohyperaldosteronism. The ICD-10 code for pseudohyperaldosteronism is E26.1. This code falls under the category of "Other hyperaldosteronism" within the Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases section (E00-E89).

On the other hand, the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, utilized a different coding system. The ICD-9 code for pseudohyperaldosteronism is 255.9. This code falls under the category of "Disorders of the adrenal glands" within the Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases section (240-279).

It is essential to note that accurate coding should be done by healthcare professionals who have access to the patient's complete medical history and can assess the specific details of the condition.
