Postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified (E89)
The ICD-10 code section E89 covers a range of endocrine and metabolic complications that arise after medical procedures and are not classified elsewhere. These codes help specify conditions such as postprocedural hormone deficiencies and organ failures affecting the endocrine system.
This section includes specific codes for conditions like postprocedural hypothyroidism (E89.0), which is also known by terms such as "hypothyroidism following radiotherapy" or "postoperative hypothyroidism;" postprocedural hypoinsulinemia (E89.1), which relates to reduced insulin after surgery, often following pancreatic procedures. It also captures postprocedural hypoparathyroidism (E89.2) and postprocedural hypopituitarism (E89.3), indicating decreased function of the parathyroid and pituitary glands after interventions. Female-specific complications include postprocedural ovarian failure (E89.4), with distinctions between asymptomatic and symptomatic cases often described as "premature ovarian failure" or "menopausal syndrome." Male-related endocrine issues like postprocedural testicular hypofunction (E89.5) are also included. Additionally, postprocedural adrenocortical hypofunction (E89.6) covers adrenal gland insufficiencies after surgery.
The codes extend to procedural complications such as hemorrhage or hematoma in endocrine organs (E89.81–E89.82) and other metabolic disturbances like postoperative vasopressin deficiency (E89.89). This detailed classification assists healthcare professionals and coders in accurately documenting and managing endocrine and metabolic disorders that occur as unintended outcomes of medical procedures, often referenced in clinical settings using common synonyms linked to their corresponding ICD-10 codes.

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.
