Other disorders of puberty
ICD-10 E30.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other disorders of puberty.
E30.8 encompasses a variety of conditions that disrupt the normal progression of puberty, which is a critical developmental phase characterized by physical and hormonal changes leading to sexual maturity. Disorders in this category may include delayed or precocious puberty, which can arise from various etiologies such as hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, or underlying health conditions. Polyglandular dysfunction, where multiple endocrine glands are affected, can lead to abnormalities in growth and sexual development. Thymus disorders, while primarily associated with immune function, can also influence puberty through their effects on hormonal regulation. Growth abnormalities, such as growth hormone deficiency or excess, can significantly impact the timing and progression of puberty. Accurate diagnosis often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including endocrinology, genetics, and sometimes immunology, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. Clinicians must carefully document the specific nature of the disorder, any associated symptoms, and the results of diagnostic tests to ensure proper coding and reimbursement.
Detailed growth charts, hormonal assay results, and family history of endocrine disorders.
Evaluation of a child presenting with delayed or early onset of secondary sexual characteristics.
Consideration of age-appropriate developmental milestones and psychosocial impacts of puberty disorders.
Thorough endocrine evaluation including hormone levels, imaging studies, and genetic testing results.
Management of patients with suspected hypogonadism or hypergonadism.
Need for interdisciplinary collaboration to address potential autoimmune or genetic components.
Used to evaluate hormonal levels in cases of delayed or precocious puberty.
Document the reason for testing and any relevant clinical findings.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive hormonal profiling.
Common causes include hormonal imbalances, genetic conditions, and environmental factors. Conditions like Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and adrenal disorders can significantly impact puberty.
