Other nutritional deficiencies (E50-E64)
ICD-10 codes E50-E64 cover a range of nutritional deficiencies beyond common vitamin D and mineral disorders, including specific vitamin shortages like vitamin A, thiamine (B1), niacin, other B vitamins, and mineral deficits such as copper and selenium. These codes also address sequelae resulting from past nutritional problems.
This ICD-10 chapter includes detailed codes for conditions such as vitamin A deficiency with ocular symptoms like conjunctival xerosis and Bitot's spots, thiamine deficiency disorders including dry and wet beriberi and Wernicke's encephalopathy, and pellagra caused by niacin deficiency. It also covers less common deficiencies like pyridoxine (B6), riboflavin, and other B-group vitamins which can cause neurological issues and anemia. Mineral deficiencies such as copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc are included, which affect various body functions like cognitive development and immunity. Codes for dietary imbalances and unspecified nutritional deficiencies help capture unclear or combined nutrient issues. Additionally, sequelae codes (E64) document long-term effects following these deficiencies, aiding comprehensive patient care and accurate health records.

Instructional Notations
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
