| ICD-10: | R79.89 |
| Short Description: | Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry |
| Long Description: | Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry |
| Status: | Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
| Code Classification: |
R79.89 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
According to ICD-10-CM guidelines this code should not to be used as a principal diagnosis code when a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

Clinical Information
- Azotemia-. a biochemical abnormality referring to an elevation of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. azotemia can be produced by kidney diseases or other extrarenal disorders. when azotemia becomes associated with a constellation of clinical signs, it is termed uremia.
