ICD10 code of Wilsons disease and ICD9 code

Wilsons disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in various organs, primarily the liver and brain. The ICD10 code for Wilsons disease is E83.0. This code falls under the category of "disorders of copper metabolism", which includes other conditions related to abnormal copper levels in the body.

In the previous coding system, ICD9, Wilsons disease was assigned the code 275.1. This code referred to "disorders of copper metabolism and transport", encompassing conditions similar to those in the current ICD10 code. The transition from ICD9 to ICD10 was aimed at improving accuracy, specificity, and granularity in coding medical conditions.

It is important to note that accurate coding is crucial for medical billing, research, and analysis purposes. The ICD10 code for Wilsons disease allows healthcare providers, insurance companies, and researchers to identify and track the prevalence and impact of this particular disorder, facilitating appropriate treatment and management strategies.
