Abnormal level of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source in specimens from male genital organs
ICD-10 R86.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal level of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source in specimens from male genital organs.
The ICD-10 code R86.3 is used to classify abnormal laboratory findings related to nonmedicinal substances found in specimens obtained from male genital organs. This may include abnormal levels of substances such as hormones, proteins, or metabolites that are not derived from medications. Clinical contexts for this code can include findings from semen analysis, testicular biopsies, or other laboratory tests that reveal unusual concentrations of substances that could indicate underlying pathologies such as hormonal imbalances, infections, or neoplastic processes. The identification of these abnormal levels is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as infertility, endocrine disorders, or malignancies. Proper documentation of the laboratory findings, the clinical context, and any associated symptoms is essential for accurate coding and subsequent treatment planning.
Detailed lab results, clinical history, and correlation with symptoms.
Evaluation of male infertility, hormonal evaluations.
Ensure that all relevant lab tests are documented and linked to the diagnosis.
Immediate lab results and clinical findings upon presentation.
Acute scrotal pain with abnormal lab findings.
Rapid assessment and documentation of findings are critical in emergency settings.
Used when evaluating hormonal levels in male patients.
Document the reason for testing and correlate with clinical findings.
Endocrinology may require additional documentation for hormonal evaluations.
R86.3 should be used for abnormal levels of substances in specimens from male genital organs that are not related to medicinal sources, such as elevated hormones or proteins indicative of underlying conditions.
