Note

All neoplasms, whether functionally active or not, are classified in Chapter II. Appropriate codes in this chapter (i.e. E05.8, E07.0, E16-E31, E34.-) may be used, if desired, as additional codes to indicate either functional activity by neoplasms and ectopic endocrine tissue or hyperfunction and hypofunction of endocrine glands associated with neoplasms and other conditions classified elsewhere.

Exclusions

  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O99)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)
  • transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to fetus and newborn (P70-P74)

Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome

Coding note

Use additional code (F70-F79), if desired, to identify associated mental retardation.

Inclusions

  • endemic conditions associated with environmental iodine deficiency either directly or as a consequence of maternal iodine deficiency. Some of the conditions have no current hypothyroidism but are the consequence of inadequate thyroid hormone secretion in the developing fetus. Environmental goitrogens may be associated.

Exclusions

  • subclinical iodine-deficiency hypothyroidism (E02)
