Other specified endocrine disorders
ICD-10 E34.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified endocrine disorders.
E34.8 encompasses a variety of endocrine disorders that do not fall under more specific categories. This includes conditions related to puberty disorders, such as precocious or delayed puberty, which can arise from hormonal imbalances or genetic factors. Polyglandular dysfunction, where multiple endocrine glands fail to function properly, can lead to a complex interplay of symptoms affecting metabolism, growth, and development. Thymus disorders, although less common, can impact immune function and may be associated with autoimmune conditions. Growth abnormalities, including growth hormone deficiencies or excesses, can lead to significant deviations from normal growth patterns, necessitating careful evaluation and management. Accurate diagnosis and documentation are crucial, as these disorders can have overlapping symptoms and require a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment.
Detailed hormonal assay results, patient growth charts, and treatment plans.
Management of patients with growth hormone deficiencies or disorders of puberty.
Ensure all relevant lab results and clinical assessments are documented to support the diagnosis.
Growth and development assessments, family history of endocrine disorders.
Evaluation of children with delayed or precocious puberty.
Documenting growth patterns and any psychosocial impacts on the child.
Used when evaluating growth abnormalities in children.
Document the reason for testing and any relevant clinical findings.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive evaluation before testing.
E34.8 includes various endocrine disorders that do not fit into more specific categories, such as puberty disorders, polyglandular dysfunction, thymus disorders, and growth abnormalities.
