(2022) How To Code Vitamin D Deficiency ICD 10 – List With Codes & Guidelines
Vitamin D deficiency ICD 10 can occur when the normal intake is lower than recommended or during a period when sunlight is limited. Vitamin D deficiency ICD 10 can result from inadequate nutrition, impaired absorption, excessive consumption, increased need or increased excretion. It can also be due to the inability of the kidneys to convert vitamin D into its active form.
Okazaki (2007) points out that it is crucial in the differential diagnosis of rickets and osteomalacia to evaluate the content of circulating vitamin D metabolites. In a review of the diagnosis of Vitamin D metabolism disorders in osteomalacia, Scharla (2008) found that vitamin D deficiency ICD 10 can be confirmed by measuring serum concentrations of 25-OHD. Measurements of the serum 25-OHD are helpful for monitoring, therapy and aftercare when treating vitamin D deficiency with medications consisting of either vitamin D or vitamin D supplements.
Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency can only be detected when serum 25 (OH) D is measured. Many other metabolites may also be present, but it is sufficient to assess the 25 (OHD) and 1.25 (OH)-2-D. Low or normal serum levels of 25 (OHd) do not cause rickets osteomalacia but can damage bone health. Obesity and associated chronic inflammation can contribute to adverse surgical results, poor healing and infection.

Vitamin D 1,25-dihydroxy-CPT code 82652 indicates a patient is to be examined for hypercalcemia or kidney failure. Vitamin D 12.5-dihydroxy CPT code 82652 is not an arrangement for adding vitamin D or 25-hydroxy vitamin D deficiency tests. If necessary, a vitamin D level of 1: 25 (OH) will be reimbursed within 24 hours if necessary.
