| ICD-10: | R77 |
| Short Description: | Other abnormalities of plasma proteins |
| Long Description: | Other abnormalities of plasma proteins |
| Status: | Not Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |

Specific Coding for Other abnormalities of plasma proteins
Non-specific codes like R77 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other abnormalities of plasma proteins:
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R77.0 for Abnormality of albumin
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R77.1 for Abnormality of globulin
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R77.2 for Abnormality of alphafetoprotein
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R77.8 for Other specified abnormalities of plasma proteins
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R77.9 for Abnormality of plasma protein, unspecified

Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA 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.
