Abnormal level of hormones in specimens from male genital organs
ICD-10 R86.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal level of hormones in specimens from male genital organs.
R86.1 refers to abnormal hormone levels detected in specimens obtained from male genital organs, such as blood, urine, or tissue samples. Hormones such as testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) play critical roles in male reproductive health. Abnormal levels can indicate various conditions, including hypogonadism, tumors, or endocrine disorders. Symptoms may include changes in libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility, or gynecomastia. Laboratory findings may reveal elevated or decreased hormone levels compared to normal ranges, necessitating further investigation to determine underlying causes. Clinicians must consider the patient's clinical history, physical examination findings, and additional diagnostic tests to establish a comprehensive understanding of the patient's hormonal status and its implications for health.
Detailed documentation of patient history, physical examination findings, and laboratory results is essential.
Evaluation of patients presenting with symptoms of hypogonadism or infertility.
Consideration of comorbid conditions that may affect hormone levels, such as obesity or diabetes.
Acute care documentation must include immediate lab results and clinical findings.
Patients presenting with acute symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as severe erectile dysfunction or acute testicular pain.
Rapid assessment and documentation of any acute complications related to hormonal abnormalities.
Used when testing for testosterone levels in patients suspected of having hormonal imbalances.
Document the reason for testing and the specific hormone levels obtained.
Endocrinologists may require additional tests to assess the full hormonal profile.
Symptoms such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility, or gynecomastia may warrant the use of R86.1 when associated with abnormal hormone levels.
