Other thyrotoxicosis without thyrotoxic crisis or storm
ICD-10 E05.80 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other thyrotoxicosis without thyrotoxic crisis or storm.
E05.80 refers to a condition characterized by an excess of thyroid hormones in the body, leading to symptoms of hyperthyroidism without the acute and severe manifestations seen in a thyrotoxic crisis or storm. This condition can arise from various etiologies, including but not limited to, autoimmune disorders such as Graves' disease, toxic nodular goiter, or excessive intake of thyroid hormone medications. Patients may present with symptoms such as weight loss, increased appetite, anxiety, tremors, heat intolerance, and palpitations. Diagnosis typically involves thyroid function tests, including serum levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T4, and Free T3. In cases of iodine deficiency, the thyroid may become overactive in response to low iodine levels, leading to compensatory mechanisms that can result in thyrotoxicosis. Management may include antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
Thorough documentation of thyroid function tests, patient symptoms, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with unexplained weight loss, anxiety, or palpitations.
Ensure all lab results are included in the medical record to support the diagnosis.
Detailed patient history and physical examination findings related to thyroid function.
Routine screening of thyroid function in patients with risk factors for thyroid disease.
Document any referrals to specialists for further evaluation.
Used to evaluate thyroid function in patients suspected of hyperthyroidism.
Document the reason for the test and any relevant clinical findings.
Endocrinologists may require more detailed lab results for comprehensive management.
E05.80 refers to other forms of thyrotoxicosis without a crisis, while E05.01 specifically denotes a thyrotoxic crisis, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention.
