What Happens if Hypothyroidism Is Left Untreated?
Typical symptoms of the condition include:
You should also let your doctor know if you take:
Thyroid atrophy causes the clinical picture known as myxoedema. Thyroid atrophy is the end result of either severe thyroid damage or total loss of pituitary stimulation. The possible causes are: (1) irradiation (2) atrophic auto-immune thyroiditis (a form of auto-immune distinct from both Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease).
E03. 4 - Atrophy of thyroid (acquired). ICD-10-CM.
9 – Hypothyroidism, Unspecified.
Causes of acquired hypothyroidism Autoimmune hypothyroidism may occur in the setting of other autoimmune conditions, most commonly Type 1 diabetes mellitus. It is also associated with Addison's disease, celiac disease, vitligo and systemic lupus erythematosus.
E03. 8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E03.
Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
E02 - Subclinical iodine-deficiency hypothyroidism | ICD-10-CM.
Thyroid atrophy is the end result of either severe thyroid damage or total loss of pituitary stimulation.
As in adults, acquired hypothyroidism can be caused by both thyroid disease (primary hypothyroidism) and hypothalamic-pituitary disease (central hypothyroidism); furthermore, primary hypothyroidism may be either subclinical (elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH] and normal serum free thyroxine [T4] ...
Hypothyroidism in infants is usually congenital; acquired causes become more common with age. Most congenital causes involve dysgenesis of the gland, but genetic disorders affecting thyroid hormone synthesis may occur. Most hypothyroid infants are detected through routine newborn screening.
ICD-10 code E07. 9 for Disorder of thyroid, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Secondary (or central) hypothyroidism is caused by disorders of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. Generally, secondary hypothyroidism is associated with low TSH and low T3 and T4. However, TSH levels may also be normal or even slightly elevated.
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), also called mild thyroid failure, is diagnosed when peripheral thyroid hormone levels are within normal reference laboratory range but serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are mildly elevated. This condition occurs in 3% to 8% of the general population.
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. All of these activities are your body's metabolism. If your thyroid gland is not active enough, it does not make enough thyroid hormone to meet your body's needs. This condition is hypothyroidism.
The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.

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.
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.
