Other disorders of thyroid (E07)
The ICD-10 code section E07 covers a variety of less common or unspecified thyroid disorders that do not fit into other detailed thyroid disease categories. These codes are used to document conditions such as hypersecretion of calcitonin, congenital goiters caused by hormone synthesis defects, and various other specified or unspecified thyroid abnormalities.
This section includes specific codes like E07.0 for hypersecretion of calcitonin, which is also known as disorder of thyrocalcitonin secretion or C-cell hyperplasia of the thyroid. E07.1 codes for dyshormogenetic goiter, encompassing conditions such as familial dyshormonogenetic goiter and Pendred's syndrome, which affect thyroid hormone production and lead to hypothyroidism. The category also contains codes for other specified thyroid disorders (E07.8 and E07.89), including sick-euthyroid syndrome (E07.81) and complex thyroid hormone resistance syndromes. The E07.9 code is used when the thyroid disorder is unspecified but may involve conditions such as postpartum thyroid disease or thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy. Medical coders seeking the ICD-10 code for these rarer or less clearly defined thyroid conditions will refer to this section to accurately classify and document them.
Clinical Terms
The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.
Thyroid Hormone Resistance Syndrome
An inherited autosomal recessive trait, characterized by peripheral resistance to THYROID HORMONES and the resulting elevation in serum levels of THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE. This syndrome is caused by mutations of gene THRB encoding the THYROID HORMONE RECEPTORS BETA in target cells. HYPOTHYROIDISM in these patients is partly overcome by the increased thyroid hormone levels.
