ICD-10 code E87. 1 for Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Hyponatremia with hypo-osmolality of serum is produced by retention of water, by loss of sodium or both. It is always maintained by a defect in excretion of free water.
Per coding directives, if dehydration is documented with hyponatremia, assign only a code for the hyponatremia (276.1). In addition, if the patient has SIADH and hyponatremia, only code 253.6 is assigned.
Q: In ICD-10 how is dehydration with hypernatremia and dehydration with hyponatremia coded? A: Two codes are required to fully capture dehydration with hypernatremia E86. 0 and E87. 0 and dehydration with hyponatremia E86.
Hyponatremia occurs when the concentration of sodium in your blood is abnormally low. Sodium is an electrolyte, and it helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around your cells.
What causes hyponatremia? A low sodium level in your blood may be caused by too much water or fluid in the body. This "watering down" effect makes the amount of sodium seem low. Low blood sodium can also be due to losing sodium from the body or losing both sodium and fluid from the body.
276.1 - Hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code I95 for Hypotension is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
E86. 0 - Dehydration | ICD-10-CM.
Hypotonic dehydration (hyponatremia). Hyponatremia is what happens when you have too little sodium in your body. This can happen if you lose electrolytes and fluids together but only replace the lost fluids.
In contrast, hyponatremia occurs when plasma sodium levels drop below normal as a result of hypotonic fluid replacement greatly exceeding fluid losses. Similar to dehydration, exercise induced hyponatremia is most likely to occur in endurance activities that take place in hot environments.
Hyponatremia is a condition characterized by low levels of sodium in the blood. Its symptoms are similar to those caused by dehydration. In severe cases, the brain may swell, which can lead to headaches, seizures, coma, and even death ( 27 ).
