Disorders of endocrine glands in diseases classified elsewhere
Chapter 4:Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
ICD-10 E35 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of disorders of endocrine glands in diseases classified elsewhere.
E35 encompasses a variety of disorders affecting the endocrine glands that are secondary to other diseases. This includes conditions related to puberty disorders, such as precocious or delayed puberty, which can arise from hormonal imbalances or underlying health issues. Polyglandular dysfunction, where multiple endocrine glands are affected, may also fall under this code, often seen in autoimmune conditions. Thymus disorders, such as thymic hyperplasia or hypoplasia, can impact endocrine function and are classified here as well. Growth abnormalities, including growth hormone deficiencies or excesses, are also relevant, as they can lead to significant health issues if not properly managed. Accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of the underlying conditions and their impact on endocrine function, as well as the specific clinical context of the patient.
Detailed patient history, lab results, and imaging studies.
Patients with autoimmune disorders presenting with multiple endocrine dysfunctions.
Ensure clear documentation of all affected glands and their specific disorders.
Growth charts, hormonal assay results, and developmental history.
Children presenting with delayed or precocious puberty.
Document age-specific growth patterns and any associated symptoms.
Used to evaluate thyroid function in patients with suspected endocrine disorders.
Document the reason for the test and any relevant clinical findings.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive lab results are included.
E35 includes disorders of endocrine glands that are secondary to other diseases, such as puberty disorders, polyglandular dysfunction, thymus disorders, and growth abnormalities.
