Why ICD-10 codes are important
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.
This is a blood test that measures the amount of a substance called bilirubin. This test is used to find out how well your liver is working. It is often part of a panel of tests that measure liver function. A small amount of bilirubin in your blood is normal, but a high level may be a sign of liver disease.
What is the difference between direct bilirubin and total bilirubin? Total bilirubin is the sum of direct and indirect bilirubin, whereas direct bilirubin is conjugated bilirubin.
Total bilirubin is a combination of direct and indirect bilirubin. Typically, you'll get results for direct and total bilirubin. Normal results for a total bilirubin test are 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for adults and usually 1 mg/dL for those under 18.
Typically, bilirubin levels fall somewhere between 0.3 and 1.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Anything above 1.2 mg/dL is usually considered elevated.
If too much bilirubin is in your bloodstream it can cause jaundice, which can make your skin and eyes turn yellow. The results of the bilirubin test and signs of jaundice can help your doctor check your liver and determine if you have liver disease. A bilirubin test is also used to determine jaundice in newborns.
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.
Total Bilirubin = Direct bilirubin + Indirect bilirubin. Without an accelerator (alcohol), mainly conjugated bilirubin is measured (direct reaction)....Various facts about the bilirubin:Unconjugated bilirubin = 27%Monoconjugated bilirubin = 24%.Diconjugated bilirubin = 13%.Protein-bound bilirubin = 37%.
Normal Results A normal level is: Direct (also called conjugated) bilirubin: less than 0.3 mg/dL (less than 5.1 µmol/L) Total bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL (1.71 to 20.5 µmol/L)

A total bilirubin blood test includes unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin. Due to the uniqueness of the analytical measurement of bilirubin, unconjugated bilirubin may also be called indirect bilirubin while conjugated bilirubin may also be referred to as direct bilirubin.
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.
In medicine, bilirubinuria is an abnormality where conjugated bilirubin is detected in the urine.

What is the correct ICD-10 code for “elevated bilirubin”? The coding index leads to ICD-10 code R17 using the term “elevated”. This code is located in Chapter 18, which is for symptoms, sign, and abnormal results.
