Abnormal level of hormones in specimens from female genital organs
ICD-10 R87.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal level of hormones in specimens from female genital organs.
R87.1 refers to abnormal hormone levels detected in specimens obtained from female genital organs, which may include blood, urine, or tissue samples. Hormonal imbalances can manifest through various symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, and signs of hyperandrogenism (e.g., hirsutism, acne). The abnormal levels may indicate underlying conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal disorders, or pituitary gland dysfunction. Accurate diagnosis often requires correlating laboratory findings with clinical symptoms and may involve additional testing to determine the specific type of hormone imbalance. Clinicians must consider the patient's age, medical history, and presenting symptoms to guide further evaluation and management. This code is essential for capturing the complexity of hormonal disorders in female patients and ensuring appropriate treatment pathways are followed.
Detailed patient history, lab results, and clinical findings must be documented to support the diagnosis.
Patients presenting with menstrual irregularities, infertility, or signs of hormonal imbalance.
Consider the patient's age and reproductive status when interpreting hormone levels.
Acute care documentation must include immediate lab results and any interventions performed.
Acute presentations of hormonal crises, such as adrenal insufficiency or severe menstrual bleeding.
Rapid assessment and documentation of symptoms are critical in emergency settings.
Used when evaluating for hyperandrogenism in females.
Document the reason for testing and correlate with clinical findings.
Endocrinology may require additional tests based on initial findings.
Symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, hirsutism, and unexplained weight changes should prompt further evaluation for hormonal imbalances.
