Valid for Submission

E88.9 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of metabolic disorder, unspecified. The code is valid for the year 2020 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code E88.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abnormal metabolic requirement, abnormal metabolic state in diabetes mellitus, acquired sensorineural hearing loss, acute confusional state, of metabolic origin, acute metabolic disorder, amino acid deficiency, etc

Clinical Information

  • BRAIN DISEASES METABOLIC-. acquired or inborn metabolic diseases that produce brain dysfunction or damage. these include primary i.e. disorders intrinsic to the brain and secondary i.e. extracranial metabolic conditions that adversely affect cerebral function.
  • BRAIN DISEASES METABOLIC INBORN-. brain disorders resulting from inborn metabolic errors primarily from enzymatic defects which lead to substrate accumulation product reduction or increase in toxic metabolites through alternate pathways. the majority of these conditions are familial however spontaneous mutation may also occur in utero.
  • GLUCOSE METABOLISM DISORDERS-. pathological conditions in which the blood glucose cannot be maintained within the normal range such as in hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. etiology of these disorders varies. plasma glucose concentration is critical to survival for it is the predominant fuel for the central nervous system.

Information for Patients


Metabolic Disorders

Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system 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, such as your liver, muscles, and body fat.

A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt this process. When this happens, you might have too much of some substances or too little of other ones that you need to stay healthy. There are different groups of disorders. Some affect the breakdown of amino acids, carbohydrates, or lipids. Another group, mitochondrial diseases, affects the parts of the cells that produce the energy.

You can develop a metabolic disorder when some organs, such as your liver or pancreas, become diseased or do not function normally. Diabetes is an example.
