What ICD-10 Codes Are Used for Hyperbilirubinemia?
Hyperbilirubinemia, characterized by high levels of bilirubin in the blood, can occur for various reasons. Here are leading hyperbilirubinemia ICD-10 codes:
- P59.9 - Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes: It is used when an infant has hyperbilirubinemia, manifesting as jaundice, but the cause isn't unknown.
- E80.6 - Other disorders of bilirubin metabolism: This code can be used for various conditions, including forms of hyperbilirubinemia not covered by other codes.
- P58.0 - Hemolytic disease of the newborn due to isoimmunization: This code is used when hyperbilirubinemia results from isoimmunization, where the mother's antibodies attack the newborn's red blood cells.
- K71.89 - Other toxic liver disease: This code can be used when liver disease resulting from toxins, including alcohol or medications, causes hyperbilirubinemia.
- P59.3 - Neonatal jaundice from breast milk inhibitor: This code is used when the cause of an infant's hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice is an inhibitor found in breast milk.
