The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E78. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E78.
E78. 5 is still the appropriate dx is dyslipidemia NOS or hyperlipidemia NOS is what the MD diagnosis.
Hyperlipidemia, also known as dyslipidemia or high cholesterol, means you have too many lipids (fats) in your blood. Your liver creates cholesterol to help you digest food and make things like hormones.
ICD-10 code E78. 4 for Other hyperlipidemia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Dyslipidemia is defined as having blood lipid levels that are too high or low....These risk factors include:obesity.a sedentary lifestyle.a lack of regular physical exercise.alcohol use.tobacco use.use of illegal or illicit drugs.sexually transmitted infections.type 2 diabetes.More items...•
Hyperlipidemia is a medical term for abnormally high levels of fats (lipids) in the blood, which include cholesterol and triglycerides. Although hyperlipidemia can be inherited, it's most often the result of lifestyle factors, including an unbalanced diet and too little physical activity.
Abbreviation / Long Form : DLP / dyslipidemia.
Dyslipidemia is the imbalance of lipids such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This condition can result from diet, tobacco exposure, or genetic and can lead to cardiovascular disease with severe complications.
Dyslipidemia is diagnosed by measuring serum lipids. Routine measurements (lipid profile) include total cholesterol (TC), TGs, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol.
5: Hyperlipidemia, unspecified. ICD 10 Code E78. 6: High-density lipoprotein deficiency. ICD 10 Code E78.
If the provider diagnosed pure hypercholesterolemia, you would code that. It is more specific than hyperlipidemia, unspecified. If both types of lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) are high and it is documented that way, you'd code E78. 2 (mixed hyperlipidemia).
Dyslipidemia, defined as elevated total or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, or low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.
The most commonly used options for pharmacologic treatment of dyslipidemia include bile acid–binding resins, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, nicotinic acid and fibric acid derivatives. Other possibilities in selected cases are estrogen replacement therapy, plasmapheresis and even surgery in severe, refractory cases.
Hyperlipidemia is treatable, but it's often a life-long condition. You'll need to watch what you eat and also exercise regularly. You might need to take a prescription medication, too.
