Hyperbilirubinemia in new born should be coded as newborn Jaundice (As per ICD-10 CM index listing). There are 4 categories of codes for newborn jaundice as per the cause – P55 (hemolytic disease), P57 (kernicterus), P58 (due to other hemolytic reasons) and P59 (Neonatal jaundice from other specified causes)
ICD-10 code E80. 4 for Gilbert syndrome is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
P59.9ICD-10-CM Code for Neonatal jaundice, unspecified P59. 9.
Gilbert syndrome is caused by a modified gene you inherit from your parents. This gene usually controls an enzyme that helps break down bilirubin in your liver. When you have an ineffective gene, your blood contains excess amounts of bilirubin because your body doesn't produce enough of the enzyme.
ICD-10 code R17 for Unspecified jaundice is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Infant jaundice is yellow discoloration of a newborn baby's skin and eyes. Infant jaundice occurs because the baby's blood contains an excess of bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), a yellow pigment of red blood cells.
9: Fever, unspecified.
Most people with Gilbert's syndrome have occasional and short-lived episodes of yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice). It's caused by the build-up of bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice may be less obvious if you have brown or black skin, but you may notice the white part of your eyes looks yellow.
Gilbert syndrome is a benign condition characterized by sporadic episodes of asymptomatic jaundice due to a mild indirect hyperbilirubinemia caused by a deficiency in bilirubin glucoronidation.
The combination of standard blood counts and liver enzymes with an elevated bilirubin level is an indicator of Gilbert syndrome. No other testing usually is needed, although genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis.
Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition in which there is a build up of bilirubin in the blood, causing yellow discoloration of the eyes and skin, called jaundice.
A condition in which the skin and the whites of the eyes become yellow, urine darkens, and the color of stool becomes lighter than normal. Jaundice occurs when the liver is not working properly or when a bile duct is blocked.
Obstructive jaundice is a specific type of jaundice, where symptoms develop due to a narrowed or blocked bile duct or pancreatic duct, preventing the normal drainage of bile from the bloodstream into the intestines.
Gilbert's syndrome is a mild condition. It doesn't cause long-term complications or serious health problems.
Patients are advised to eat a well balanced and healthy diet, drink plenty of clear fluids like water and fruit juice, avoid fatty or sugary foods or foods that they cannot tolerate. Some patients may also require vitamins and supplements. Alcohol should be avoided.
Gilbert syndrome is considered a mild, harmless (benign) condition and is associated with normal life expectancy.
Summary. Gilbert syndrome is a mild liver disorder that impairs the body's ability to process bilirubin, a substance made when old red blood cells are broken down. This leads to fluctuating levels of bilirubin in the blood, sometimes causing levels to be high (hyperbilirubinemia).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM P59.8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
P59.8 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record.
There are 4 categories of codes for newborn jaundice as per the cause – P55 (hemolytic disease), P57 (kernicterus), P58 (due to other hemolytic reasons) and P59 (Neonatal jaundice from other specified causes)
Common symptoms of jaundice are yellow skin and white of eyes, dark coloured body fluids ( urine and stool). If jaundice along with severe abdominal pain, blood vomit, blood in stool, change in mental function, fever or tendency to bleed easily are cause of concern.
P57 – When jaundice is left untreated, number of bilirubin increases and it cause brain damage
This is more than the liver capacity. Causes of prehepatic jaundice are thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, autoimmune disease and transfusion
Note: Obstructive jaundice should be coded to obstruction of bile duct K83.1
New born jaundice gets cured after few days by exposing to light or sunlight which breaks down bilirubin and liver will start functioning normally. Jaundice in adult needs immediate medical care as it is a sign of an underlying disease such as:
Obstructive jaundice or regurgitation jaundice guide us to see obstruction bile duct which leads to K83.1
P58.1 Neonatal jaundice due to bleeding. P58.2 Neonatal jaundice due to infection. P58.3 Neonatal jaundice due to polycythemia. P58.4 Neonatal jaundice due to drugs or toxins transmitted from mother or given to newborn. P58.41 Neonatal jaundice due to drugs or toxins transmitted from mother.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM P58.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
P58.2 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM P59.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
