Primary hypertriglyceridemia, or type 4 hyperlipidemia has high concentration of triglycerides in the blood. It is also known as hypertriglyceridemia (or pure hypertriglyceridemia). Hypertriglyceridemia denotes high (hyper-) blood levels (-emia) of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms.
Hyperlipidemias are also classified according to which types of lipids are elevated, that is hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia or both in combined hyperlipidemia. Elevated levels of Lipoprotein(a) may also be classified as a form of hyperlipidemia.
ICD-10 | Pure hypercholesterolemia, unspecified (E78. 00)
272.1ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 272.1 : Pure hyperglyceridemia.
Hyperlipidemia is above normal lipid (fat) levels in the blood, which include several types of lipids, including triglycerides. Hypercholesterolemia is above normal levels of LDL or total cholesterol in your blood. It doesn't include triglycerides.
Severe hypertriglyceridemia, defined as 1000–1999 mg/dl, although not causative of pancreatitis, indicates risk for development of very severe hypertriglyceridemia (10, 11).
Pure or familial hypercholesterolemia is a condition in which a genetic anomaly causes high cholesterol levels. According to the Familial Hypercholesterolemia Foundation, an estimated 1 in 250 people worldwide have pure or familial hypercholesterolemia.
You wouldn't code them together. Cholesterol is a type of lipid. If the provider diagnosed pure hypercholesterolemia, you would code that. It is more specific than hyperlipidemia, unspecified.

5: Hyperlipidemia, unspecified.
The medical community recognizes lipid testing as appropriate for evaluating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Conditions in which lipid testing may be indicated include: Assessment of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Hypertriglyceridemia, a condition in which triglyceride levels are elevated, is a common disorder in the United States. It is often caused or exacerbated by uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, obesity, and sedentary habits, all of which are more prevalent in industrialized societies than in developing nations.
5 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Hyperlipidemia, Unspecified. Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 272.4. Code E78. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Hyperlipidemia, Unspecified, a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism other lipidemias.
Hypertriglyceridemia denotes high (hyper-) blood levels (-emia) of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms. Elevated levels of triglycerides are associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels), and predispose to cardiovascular disease.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E78.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Clinical Information. A group of familial disorders characterized by elevated circulating cholesterol contained in either low-density lipoproteins alone or also in very-low-density lipoproteins (pre-beta lipoproteins).
Characterized by increased plasma concentration of cholesterol carried in low density lipoproteins (ldl) and by a deficiency in a cell surface receptor which regulates ldl degradation and cholesterol synthesis. Hypercholesterolemia that is caused by mutation in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R73.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Higher than normal amount of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. Hyperglycemia can be a sign of diabetes or other conditions.
