ICD-10 Code E87.5. Hyperkalemia: Abnormally high potassium concentration in the blood, most often due to defective renal excretion. It is characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated T waves and depressed P waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). In severe cases, weakness and flaccid paralysis may occur.

ICD-10 code E87. 6 for Hypokalemia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .

ICD-10 code: E87. 8 Other disorders of electrolyte and fluid balance, not elsewhere classified.
ICD-10 | Hypokalemia (E87. 6)
Potassium is a chemical that is critical to the function of nerve and muscle cells, including those in your heart. Your blood potassium level is normally 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Having a blood potassium level higher than 6.0 mmol/L can be dangerous and usually requires immediate treatment.
That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris. I25. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

Lactic acidosis shares the ICD-10-CM code, E87. 2, Acidosis, with other causes of acidosis, respiratory or metabolic. Mixed acid-base disorders are coded at E87. 4.
Abnormally high potassium concentration in the blood, most often due to defective renal excretion. It is characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated t waves and depressed p waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). In severe cases, weakness and flaccid paralysis may occur.

Hyperkalemia (high potassium) reflects generally inadequate renal excretion, mobilization of potassium from the tissues, or excessive intake or administration . Hyperkalemia occurs with hemolysis, trauma, with administration of potassium salts of some drugs, Addison disease, acidosis, insulin lack, with increased osmolality (eg, glucose, mannitol), and in other entities as well as with renal diseases. Increased potassium can occur with potassium sparing diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially in the presence of renal disease. Systemic heparin therapy can suppress aldosterone release and increase potassium, especially in the presence of other factors.
This uncommon entity is a curable cause of hypertension. Low potassium occurs with endogenous or exogenous increase in other corticosteroids, including that in Cushing syndrome as well as with dietary or parenteral deprivation of potassium (eg, parenteral therapy without adequate potassium replacement). Hypokalemia occurs with vomiting, diarrhea, fistulas, laxatives, diuretics, burns, excessive perspiration, Bartter syndrome, some cases of alcoholism and folic acid deficiency, in alkalosis and in renal tubular acidosis as well as in other entities.
Low potassium is much more significant with a low pH than with a high pH. When pH increases by 0.1, potassium decreases approximately 0.6 mmol/L. With low pH, as in ketoacidosis, as therapeutic adjustment towards normal is made, plasma/serum K + levels will decrease.
Hypokalemia has been reported in slightly over one-half of a series of 32 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia, 1 but thrombocytosis can increase serum potassium levels, vide supra. Thiazide/chlorthalidone therapy may cause hyperuricemia and hypercalcemia as well as hypokalemia.
