Abnormal level of hormones in specimens from other organs, systems and tissues
ICD-10 R89.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal level of hormones in specimens from other organs, systems and tissues.
R89.1 is used to classify abnormal hormone levels detected in specimens obtained from various organs, systems, or tissues that do not fall under more specific classifications. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating numerous physiological processes, and their abnormal levels can indicate underlying health issues. Commonly tested hormones include thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, and sex hormones. Abnormal levels may manifest as symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbances, or reproductive issues. The clinical context for this code often arises from laboratory findings that suggest endocrine dysfunction, necessitating further investigation to determine the underlying cause. Conditions such as hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, or hormonal imbalances due to tumors may lead to abnormal hormone levels. Accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of the clinical scenario and the specific hormones involved, as well as the documentation of the laboratory findings that prompted the diagnosis.
Detailed lab results, clinical correlation, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with fatigue, weight changes, or reproductive issues requiring hormonal evaluation.
Ensure that the specific hormone levels are documented and correlate with the patient's symptoms.
Acute care documentation must include immediate lab results and clinical assessment.
Acute presentations of adrenal crisis or thyroid storm requiring urgent intervention.
Rapid assessment and documentation of abnormal hormone levels are critical in emergency settings.
Used when evaluating thyroid function in patients with abnormal hormone levels.
Document the reason for testing and the patient's clinical symptoms.
Endocrinologists may require additional tests based on initial findings.
R89.1 covers a range of hormone abnormalities detected in specimens from various organs, including thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, and sex hormones, among others.
