If you have an suggestion for how ICD.Codes could be better, submit your idea! The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 0 terms under the parent term 'Hyperammonemia' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index .
Includes: Hyperammonemia-Hyperornithinemia-Homocitrullinemia syndrome, Ornithinemia (types I, II), Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency
Survivors of the neonatal onset and childhood/adult onset disorders share common risks for encephalopathies, metabolic, inborn; and respiratory alkalosis due to hyperammonemia. ICD-10-CM E72.20 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 642 Inborn and other disorders of metabolism Convert E72.20 to ICD-9-CM

Hyperammonemia is a metabolic condition characterized by raised levels of ammonia, a nitrogen-containing compound. Ammonia is a potent neurotoxin. Hyperammonemia most commonly presents with neurological signs and symptoms that may be acute or chronic, depending on the underlying abnormality.
Hyperammonemia is due to defect in detoxification or overproduction of ammonia. Defects in the urea cycle lead to the most severe hyperammonemia. Other causes of hyperammonemia include various metabolic defects such as certain organic acidurias, fatty acid oxidation defects, drugs and liver disease.
Primary vs. Primary hyperammonemia is caused by several inborn errors of metabolism that are characterised by reduced activity of any of the enzymes in the urea cycle. The most common example is ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which is inherited in an X-linked fashion.
After being produced, ammonia is normally removed from the body by the liver and kidneys. Ammonia testing is typically ordered to diagnose and monitor elevated ammonia levels, also known as hyperammonemia. In adults, high ammonia levels are usually the result of liver damage that causes poor liver function.
In most hyperammonemic episodes, patients may present with a loss of appetite, vomiting, lethargy, and behavior abnormalities associated with hallucinations, sleep disorders, ataxia, and even seizures. These episodes are usually related to periods of high protein intake, systemic infection, or catabolic stress.
Drugs and other substances that may increase ammonia levels include acetazolamide, ammonium chloride, ethyl alcohol, fibrin hydrolysate, furosemide, isoniazid, rifampin, thiazides, and valproic acid.
Symptoms of high ammonia levels in your blood include:Confusion and disorientation.Excessive sleepiness.Changes in consciousness.Mood swings.Hand tremors.Coma.
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is most likely the result of hyperammonemia. Elevated ammonia levels are detected in most patients. Similarly, the subtle neurological changes of minimal hepatic encephalopathy can be improved by the administration of lactulose.
Medications used in the treatment of hyperammonemia include the following: Urea cycle disorder treatment agents (eg, sodium phenylbutyrate, carglumic acid, sodium phenylacetate, and sodium benzoate) Antiemetic agents (eg, ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron, dolasetron)

Rifaximin has become the most effective antibiotic of choice in the treatment of hyperammonemia because of its safety, efficacy, and tolerability [62]. Rifaximin is a nonsystemic, GI site-specific antibiotic as a result of the addition of a nonabsorbable pyridoimidazole ring.
