Metabolic disorder following complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion
ICD-10 O03.83 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of metabolic disorder following complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion.
O03.83 refers to metabolic disorders that may arise following a complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion, commonly known as miscarriage. A spontaneous abortion is defined as the natural termination of a pregnancy before the fetus can live independently outside the womb, typically occurring before the 20th week of gestation. The metabolic disorders associated with this condition can include imbalances in electrolytes, glucose levels, and other metabolic parameters that may be affected by the abrupt hormonal changes and physical stress following the loss of pregnancy. Emotional and psychological impacts are also significant, as women may experience grief, anxiety, and depression following a miscarriage. It is crucial for healthcare providers to offer emotional support and counseling to help patients cope with the loss and to monitor for any physical complications that may arise post-abortion. Proper documentation of the spontaneous abortion and any subsequent metabolic disorders is essential for accurate coding and billing.
