Other disorders of glucose transport
ICD-10 E74.818 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other disorders of glucose transport.
E74.818 refers to a group of metabolic disorders characterized by abnormalities in glucose transport mechanisms. These disorders can arise from various causes, including genetic mutations affecting glucose transporter proteins, enzyme deficiencies, or other metabolic dysfunctions. Patients may present with symptoms such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or metabolic acidosis, depending on the specific transport defect. The glucose transporters, primarily GLUT1, GLUT2, and GLUT4, play crucial roles in cellular glucose uptake and regulation of blood glucose levels. Disorders in glucose transport can lead to significant clinical manifestations, including neurological deficits, growth retardation, and complications related to diabetes. Diagnosis typically involves biochemical tests, genetic testing, and sometimes imaging studies to assess the impact on organ systems. Management strategies may include dietary modifications, enzyme replacement therapies, or pharmacological interventions aimed at improving glucose metabolism.
Detailed metabolic panel results, genetic testing outcomes, and treatment plans.
Patients with unexplained hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, particularly in pediatric populations.
Endocrinologists must ensure that all metabolic and genetic evaluations are documented to support the diagnosis.
Family history, genetic test results, and phenotypic assessments.
Patients with a family history of metabolic disorders presenting with symptoms of glucose transport issues.
Geneticists should document the specific mutations identified and their implications for treatment.
Used to monitor glucose levels in patients suspected of having glucose transport disorders.
Document the reason for the test and any relevant clinical findings.
Endocrinologists should ensure that glucose testing is linked to the diagnosis.
Common symptoms include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, neurological deficits, and growth retardation, depending on the specific disorder.
Diagnosis typically involves biochemical tests, genetic testing, and clinical evaluation of symptoms and family history.
