Code Classification

  • Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
    (E00–E89)
    • Metabolic disorders
      (E70-E88)
      • Other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism
        (E74)

E74 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism

Non-specific codes like E74 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other disorders of carbohydrate metabolism:

  • E74.0 for Glycogen storage disease - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.00 for Glycogen storage disease, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.01 for von Gierke disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.02 for Pompe disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.03 for Cori disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.04 for McArdle disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.05 for Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 [LAMP2] deficiency - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.09 for Other glycogen storage disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • E74.1 for Disorders of fructose metabolism - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.10 for Disorder of fructose metabolism, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.11 for Essential fructosuria - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.12 for Hereditary fructose intolerance - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.19 for Other disorders of fructose metabolism - BILLABLE CODE

  • E74.2 for Disorders of galactose metabolism - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.20 for Disorders of galactose metabolism, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.21 for Galactosemia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.29 for Other disorders of galactose metabolism - BILLABLE CODE

  • E74.3 for Other disorders of intestinal carbohydrate absorption - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.31 for Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.39 for Other disorders of intestinal carbohydrate absorption - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.4 for Disorders of pyruvate metabolism and gluconeogenesis - BILLABLE CODE

  • E74.8 for Other specified disorders of carbohydrate metabolism - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • E74.81 for Disorders of glucose transport, not elsewhere classified - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.89 for Other specified disorders of carbohydrate metabolism - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E74.9 for Disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Patient Education


Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorders

Metabolism is the process your body uses to make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system (enzymes) break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body's fuel. Your body can use this fuel right away, or it can store the energy in your body tissues. If you have a metabolic disorder, something goes wrong with this process.

Carbohydrate metabolism disorders are a group of metabolic disorders. Normally your enzymes break carbohydrates down into glucose (a type of sugar). If you have one of these disorders, you may not have enough enzymes to break down the carbohydrates. Or the enzymes may not work properly. This causes a harmful amount of sugar to build up in your body. That can lead to health problems, some of which can be serious. Some of the disorders are fatal.

These disorders are inherited. Newborn babies get screened for many of them, using blood tests. If there is a family history of one of these disorders, parents can get genetic testing to see whether they carry the gene. Other genetic tests can tell whether the fetus has the disorder or carries the gene for the disorder.

Treatments may include special diets, supplements, and medicines. Some babies may also need additional treatments, if there are complications. For some disorders, there is no cure, but treatments may help with symptoms.
