Why ICD-10 codes are important
In the liver, bilirubin is changed into a form that your body can get rid of. This is called conjugated bilirubin or direct bilirubin. This bilirubin travels from the liver into the small intestine. A very small amount passes into your kidneys and is excreted in your urine.
Disorder of bilirubin metabolism, unspecified E80. 7 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E80. 7 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Description. Direct bilirubin is the conjugated form of bilirubin that is obtained as a catabolism product of haemoglobin. Indirect bilirubin is the direct product of the catabolism of haemoglobin. Solubility. Highly soluble in water.
Conjugated bilirubin is another name for direct bilirubin. Bilirubin concentrations are elevated in the blood by conditions that increase hemolysis, decreased conjugation, or blockage of the bile ducts.
Unspecified jaundiceICD-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 .
A: The ICD-10-CM index lists code R79. 89 (Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry) as the default for abnormal liver function tests (LFTs).
Bilirubin attached by the liver to glucuronic acid, a glucose-derived acid, is called direct, or conjugated, bilirubin. Bilirubin not attached to glucuronic acid is called indirect, or unconjugated, bilirubin. All the bilirubin in your blood together is called total bilirubin.
Conjugated bilirubin also is called direct bilirubin because it reacts directly with the reagent, and unconjugated bilirubin is called indirect because it has to be solubilized first.
The conjugated (direct) bilirubin level is often elevated by alcohol, infectious hepatitis, drug reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Posthepatic disorders also can cause conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
Indirect bilirubin is the difference between total and direct bilirubin. Common causes of higher indirect bilirubin include: Hemolytic anemia. This means your body is getting rid of too many red blood cells.
Purpose of the test Testing bilirubin in the blood and urine can help doctors diagnose problems such as jaundice, a condition that may cause your eyes and skin to turn yellow, as well as hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallbladder disease, and hemolytic anemia.
Pre-hepatic jaundice is typically caused by haemolytic anaemias, which have a large component of indirect bilirubin. Post-hepatic jaundice is usually caused by tumours of the head of the pancreas blocking the bile duct and gall stones, in such cases the bilirubin is mostly direct.
E80.6 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other disorders of bilirubin metabolism. The code E80.6 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Metabolic neuropathies (Medical Encyclopedia) Pseudohypoparathyroidism (Medical Encyclopedia) Dubin-Johnson syndrome Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a condition characterized by jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
Neonatal jaundice. Newborn physiological jaundice. Physiologic jaundice, neonatal. Clinical Information. Jaundice that appears during the neonatal period. In the majority of cases, it appears in the first week of life and is classified as physiologic due to accelerated destruction of erythrocytes and liver immaturity.
Yellow discoloration of the skin; mucous membrane; and sclera in the newborn. It is a sign of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia . Most cases are transient self-limiting (physiological neonatal jaundice) occurring in the first week of life, but some can be a sign of pathological disorders, particularly liver diseases.
P59.9 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record. kernicterus ( P57.-) Jaundice that appears during the neonatal period. In the majority of cases, it appears in the first week of life and is classified as physiologic due to accelerated destruction of erythrocytes and liver immaturity.
In medicine, bilirubinuria is an abnormality where conjugated bilirubin is detected in the urine.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 791.4 was previously used, R82.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Bilirubin, Direct - Measurement of the levels of bilirubin is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematologic, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder obstruction. The assessment of direct bilirubin is helpful in the differentiation of hepatic disorders.
The increase in total bilirubin associated with obstructive jaundice is primarily due to the direct (conjugated) fraction . Both direct and indirect bilirubin are increased in the serum with hepatitis.
