ICD10 code of Argininosuccinic Aciduria and ICD9 code
ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for Argininosuccinic Aciduria, with classification details for clinicians, coders and patients.
Argininosuccinic Aciduria is a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of the amino acid arginine. It is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme argininosuccinate lyase, which leads to the buildup of argininosuccinic acid in the body. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the defective gene, one from each parent, to develop the disorder.
In terms of coding, Argininosuccinic Aciduria is classified under the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) system. The specific code for this condition is E72.21. This code falls under the category of "Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism," which is further classified under "Metabolic disorders" (E70-E88).
In the previous ICD-9 system, Argininosuccinic Aciduria was classified under the code 270.3. This code belonged to the category of "Disorders of amino acid transport and metabolism." However, it's important to note that the ICD-9 system has been replaced by the more current ICD-10 coding system, which provides a more detailed and comprehensive classification of diseases and disorders.
It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate coding and billing purposes.
