ICD-10 P72 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders.
The ICD-10 code P72 encompasses a range of other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders that can occur in newborns. These conditions are typically temporary and may arise due to various physiological changes that infants undergo after birth. Common examples include transient hypothyroidism and transient hyperinsulinemia, which can result from maternal conditions or hormonal adjustments in the neonate. Understanding these disorders is crucial for healthcare providers, as they can significantly impact the infant's health and development if not properly managed.

P72 includes conditions such as transient hypothyroidism, transient hyperinsulinemia, and other temporary endocrine disorders that may resolve without long-term effects.
P72 codes should be used when diagnosing transient neonatal endocrine disorders that are not classified under other specific codes, particularly when the condition is confirmed and documented by clinical evaluation.
Documentation should include clinical findings, laboratory results confirming the diagnosis, and a treatment plan that outlines the management of the disorder.
