Non-celiac gluten sensitivity 1 K90.41 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM K90.41 became effective on October 1, 2018. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K90.41 - other international versions of ICD-10 K90.41 may differ.
celiac gluten-sensitive enteropathy ( K90.0) lactose intolerance ( E73.-) Other malabsorption due to intolerance. ICD-10-CM K90.41 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 391 Esophagitis, gastroenteritis and miscellaneous digestive disorders with mcc.
It is resistant to degradation in the human upper gastrointestinal tract and is able to pass through the epithelial barrier of the intestine. Gluten sensitivity is a state of heightened immunological responsiveness to ingested gluten.
This screening profile is designed to aid in the diagnosis of different forms of gluten sensitivity. Step One: The screening starts with testing for IgA and IgG antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) that allows for simultaneous detection for all four types of antibodies in one test (tTG/DGP screen).

It is the practitioner's responsibility to work within the rules and guidelines of the state for which they practice in. Each state has different regulations which govern the scope of practice for the practitioner. To obtain information about statutes and regulations for direct-to-consumer testing by state a practitioner may check with their state board of health for clarification about the specific restrictions regarding laboratory testing.

Yes, you can perform many of the urine tests with one urine sample. Each test has a specific volume requirement. The urine collection container holds about 50 mL. You will need a special collection jug or bag to perform the timed & 24 hour urine tests.
Antibiotics and antifungal will not directly interfere with the OAT unless they contain apples, grapes, pears or cranberries. It is important that the patient and practitioner consider why the test is being administered in order to determine whether or not the patient should refrain from antibiotics and antifungals. For example, a practitioner may want to know if a certain therapy is effective. In this example, it would be perfectly acceptable to remain on the therapy during collection. Separately, a patient may want to understand their metabolic condition without the aid of therapy. In this case, it is best to remove the antibiotics or antifungals for 1-2 weeks prior to testing.
It is resistant to degradation in the human upper gastrointestinal tract and is able to pass through the epithelial barrier of the intestine. Gluten sensitivity is a state of heightened immunological responsiveness to ingested gluten. It represents the spectrum of diseases with diverse manifestations such as enteropathy (celiac disease), dermatopathy (dermatitis herpetiformis), neurological disorders (ataxia and neuropathy), and may be underlying reason for many other nonspecific symptoms like anemia, chronic fatigue, joint inflammation and pain, migraines, depression, attention-deficit disorder, epilepsy, osteoporosis and osteopenia, infertility, recurrent fetal loss, vitamin deficiencies, short stature, failure to thrive, delayed puberty, dental enamel defects, and autoimmune disorders. Patients with gluten sensitivity are reported to have increased mortality and its prevalence in the general population is up to 12%.
Step One: The screening starts with testing for IgA and IgG antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) that allows for simultaneous detection for all four types of antibodies in one test (tTG/DGP screen). This step will aid in the diagnosis of gluten-sensitive enteropathies including celiac disease. Antibodies to DGP and tTG are highly specific and sensitive for those conditions. 1,2 When the result is positive, testing stops and the interpretive comment on the report would read: "Suggestive of celiac disease or other gluten-sensitive enteropathies. Subsequent testing for Endomysial Antibody, IgA [164996] and/or genetic testing for Celiac Disease HLA DQ Association [167082] may be indicated for further patient evaluation." When result is negative, testing will reflex to the second step.
Step Two: In the second step, the test for IgG antibodies to native gliadin (AGA) is performed. AGA currently remain the most sensitive markers of the whole spectrum of gluten sensitivity including all the extraintestinal manifestations. 1,3 When the result is positive, testing stops and the interpretive comment would read: "Suggestive of nonceliac gluten sensitivity. The patient may benefit from a gluten-free diet." When the result is negative, testing will reflex to the third step.
This profile is recommended for children and adults with suspected sensitivity to gluten.
Antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptide and tissue transglutaminase are specific to celiac disease while antibodies to native gliadin are present in patients with and without gastrointestinal manifestations and are serological evidence of gluten sensitivity. Another subset of patients may have gluten sensitivity expressed in the form of allergic reaction to foods containing gluten like wheat. All of those patient groups may benefit from gluten-free diet.
Aetna considers serological tests for celiac disease (IgA-TTG, IgG-TTG, IgA-EMA, IgG-EMA, IgA-DGP, IgG-DGP) experimental and investigational as an alternative to biopsy for assessing mucosal damage in individuals with celiac disease, and for all other indications because their clinical value has not been established for these indications.
As a preliminary diagnostic test for persons with symptoms suggestive of celiac disease; or. To monitor response to a gluten-free diet; or. To screen first-degree relatives of individuals with celiac disease; or. To screen persons with type 1 diabetes for celiac disease.
Circulating TTG, DGP, and anti-endomysial antibodies have a high degree of sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of CD. The presence of these antibodies at the time of diagnosis, with a typical small intestinal mucosa and their disappearance with a clinical response to a gluten-free diet and return on challenge, establishes the diagnosis. Although anti-endomysial antibodies have a high degree of specificity, particularly in adult patients, false-positive results may occur in children. Accepted guidelines indicate that antibody estimations on their own should not be relied on for the final diagnosis of CD. Accepted guidelines indicate that small intestinal biopsy is still mandatory.
The hallmark of CD is permanent gluten intolerance, requiring a lifelong, gluten-free diet. Spontaneous recovery in children has been reported, but it is not yet known whether these children will eventually relapse. A disorder of transient gluten intolerance has been described in early infancy, with clinical features that are indistinguishable from CD. This is rare, but this syndrome has made it necessary to demonstrate that gluten intolerance persists by means of gluten challenge in children presenting before 2 years of age.
The toxic effects of gluten most likely result from an immunologic mechanism. Circulating antibodies to wheat fractions and other dietary proteins have been detected in the sera of patients with CD. Increased density of the intraepithelial lymphocytes in the small intestinal mucosa is a hallmark of the disease.
It is a lifelong disorder and affects both children and adults. It may present for the first time in either childhood or adult life. Gluten, which is the protein responsible for CD, is found in the grain of wheat, rye, oats, and barley. The toxic effects of gluten most likely result from an immunologic mechanism.
Aetna considers measurement of total serum IgA medically necessary for the diagnosis of celiac disease.
