2022 ICD-10-CM Code E88.9
Metabolic disorder, unspecified
Valid for Submission
ICD-10: | E88.9 |
Short Description: | Metabolic disorder, unspecified |
Long Description: | Metabolic disorder, unspecified |
Code Classification
E88.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of metabolic disorder, unspecified. The code E88.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 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 due to diabetes mellitus, acquired sensorineural hearing loss, acute confusional state, of metabolic origin, acute metabolic disorder , amino acid deficiency, etc.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like E88.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

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.
Convert E88.9 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code E88.9 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

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.
