Adrenogenital disorders (E25)
The ICD-10 code section E25 covers adrenogenital disorders, which are conditions affecting the adrenal glands that impact the development and function of sexual characteristics. These codes are used to classify various congenital and acquired disorders involving enzyme deficiencies and hormonal imbalances that lead to atypical genital development and hormone-related syndromes.
Specifically, E25.0 addresses congenital adrenogenital disorders due to enzyme deficiencies, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). This includes conditions known by terms like male or female pseudohermaphroditism, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and adrenal virilism. These represent enzyme defects that disrupt steroid hormone production, causing issues like salt-wasting crises or abnormal sexual development. E25.8 captures other adrenogenital disorders, including drug- or idiopathic-induced syndromes and precocious puberty variants, involving terms like feminization, masculinization, and Achard-Thiers syndrome. Finally, E25.9 is used when the specific adrenogenital disorder is unspecified and may include general descriptions such as virilization, adrenal hyperfunction, or various Tanner genital development stages. These ICD-10 codes are essential for accurately documenting diverse adrenal gland-related endocrine disorders and their clinical presentations.

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- adrenogenital syndromes, virilizing or feminizing, whether acquired or due to adrenal hyperplasia consequent on inborn enzyme defects in hormone synthesis

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.
