icd 10 code for neonatal hypothyroidism

What is hypothyroidism in an infant?

Hypothyroidism refers to an underactive thyroid gland. Congenital hypothyroidism occurs when a newborn infant is born without the ability to make normal amounts of thyroid hormone. The condition occurs in about 1 in 3,000-4,000 children, is most often permanent and treatment is lifelong.

What is the severe form of hypothyroidism in neonates called?

Congenital hypothyroidism, previously known as cretinism, is a severe deficiency of thyroid hormone in newborns. It causes impaired neurological function, stunted growth, and physical deformities.

What is congenital hypothyroidism without goiter?

Congenital hypothyroidism (CHT) is a condition resulting from an absent or under-developed thyroid gland (dysgenesis) or one that has developed but cannot make thyroid hormone because of a 'production line' problem (dyshormonogenesis). Babies with CHT cannot produce enough thyroid hormone for the body's needs.

Is congenital hypothyroidism primary or secondary?

Permanent congenital hypothyroidism may be due to primary or secondary (central) causes. Primary causes include defects of thyroid gland development, deficiencies in thyroid hormone production, and hypothyroidism resulting from defects of TSH binding or signal transduction.

What is congenital hypothyroidism in newborn?

Congenital hypothyroidism is a partial or complete loss of function of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) that affects infants from birth (congenital). The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped tissue in the lower neck.

What causes congenital hypothyroidism in newborns?

The most common causes of congenital hypothyroidism are: A thyroid gland in an abnormal location (ectopic thyroid gland) An underdeveloped thyroid gland (thyroid hypoplasia) A missing thyroid gland (thyroid agenesis)

Is congenital hypothyroidism a birth defect?

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is inadequate thyroid hormone production in newborn infants. It can occur because of an anatomic defect in the gland, an inborn error of thyroid metabolism, or iodine deficiency.

Can hypothyroidism be passed to baby?

If properly controlled, often by increasing the amount of thyroid hormone, women with hypothyroidism can have healthy, unaffected babies.

What are the three types of hypothyroidism?

In hypothyroidism, your thyroid doesn't produce enough of these hormones. This is also known as an underactive thyroid. There are three types of hypothyroidism: primary, secondary, and tertiary.

What is the difference between hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is characterized by increased thyrotropin (TSH) levels and reduced free thyroid hormone fractions while, subclinical hypothyroidism (sHT) by elevated serum TSH in the face of normal thyroid hormones.

What is the difference between primary and secondary hypothyroidism?

Primary hypothyroidism occurs after destruction of the thyroid gland because of autoimmunity (the most common cause), or medical intervention such as surgery, radioiodine, and radiation. Secondary hypothyroidism occurs after pituitary or hypothalamic damage, and results in insufficient production of TSH.

What is dyshormonogenesis?

Familial thyroid dyshormonogenesis is a type of primary congenital hypothyroidism (see this term), a permanent thyroid hormone deficiency that is present from birth, which results from inborn errors of thyroid hormone synthesis.

What is the cretinism?

The medical definition of cretinism is untreated congenital hypothyroidism, with or without a goiter. Iodine deficiency is still a major cause of endemic cretinism, but in Canada this is no longer true.

What is myxedema disease?

Myxedema is another term for severely advanced hypothyroidism. It's a condition that occurs when your body doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid is a small gland that sits right at the front of your neck. It releases hormones that help your body regulate energy and control a wide variety of functions.

What is thyrotoxicosis disease?

Thyrotoxicosis is the clinical manifestation of excess thyroid hormone action at the tissue level due to inappropriately high circulating thyroid hormone concentrations. Hyperthyroidism, a subset of thyrotoxicosis, refers specifically to excess thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion by the thyroid gland.

What is the term for a condition in which the thyroid gland is deficient?

Hypothyroidism, congenital. Clinical Information. A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of thyroid hormones that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or hypothyroidism in infants of mothers treated with thiouracil during pregnancy.

What are the symptoms of a thyroid deficiency?

Clinical symptoms include severe mental retardation, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and myxedema. A deficiency of thyroid hormone present at birth. The etiology can be genetic or environmental, or a combination of both; treatment is based on severity and causality.

Is myxedema acquired or congenital?

Condition due to congenital lack of thyroid hormone, marked by arrested physical and mental development, dystrophy of the bones and soft parts, and lowered basal metabolism; it is the congenital form of thyroid deficiency, while myxedema is the acquired form.

Why is myxedema called severe?

Severe –This is so called because the symptoms are more severe, even coma may occur.Patient can go to myxedema stage due to very low level of thyroid hormone. Mild or subclinical –It is called subclinical because only the serum level of thyroid stimulating hormone from pituitary gland is slightly above normal.

What is secondary thyroid?

Secondary –Problem with another gland interferes activity of thyroid gland. For example, hormone produced by pituitary gland triggers the production of thyroid hormone. So, if any problem happens with pituitary gland it affects thyroid hormone production.

What is the name of the disorder that causes the body to produce energy?

Hypothyroidism : Hypothyroidism is a disorder of deficiency (hypo means deficiency) of thyroid hormone (produced by thyroid gland). This is more common in women than men and that too mostly older than 60 years. Thyroid hormone is responsible to give energy to other organs.

Why is my thyroid underactive?

These types are according to the reasons behind underactivity of thyroid gland. Congenital – Present at birth. Acquire d or Primary – Most common cause is due to autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Immune system attacks thyroid and makes it difficult to produce hormone.

How to diagnose thyroid disease?

To diagnose thyroid diseases, doctors use a medical history, physical exam, and thyroid tests. They sometimes also use a biopsy. Treatment depends on the problem, but may include medicines, radioiodine therapy, or thyroid surgery. Dept. of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health.

What is the P72.2 code?

P72.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other transitory neonatal disorders of thyroid function, not elsewhere classified. The code P72.2 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

What is the thyroid gland?

Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, just above your collarbone. It is one of your endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in your body. These include how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats.

What is the GEM crosswalk?

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code P72.2 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

What is the tabular list of diseases and injuries?

The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code P72.2:

The ICD code E031 is used to code Congenital hypothyroidism

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) or cretinism is a condition of thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. Approximately 1 in 4000 newborn infants has a severe deficiency of thyroid function, while even more have mild or partial degrees.
