Transitory disorders of carbohydrate metabolism specific to newborn (P70)
ICD-10 code section P70 covers temporary carbohydrate metabolism disorders found specifically in newborns, addressing unique metabolic challenges during the early days of life.
This code group includes conditions such as P70.0, identifying infants affected by maternal gestational diabetes, commonly called the "syndrome of infant of diabetic mother." Code P70.1 further describes infants born to mothers with diabetes, including those with abnormal or high birth weight. P70.2 covers neonatal diabetes mellitus characterized by transient or permanent diabetes presenting soon after birth. Hypoglycemia subtypes, such as P70.3 for iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycemia caused by medical intervention, and P70.4 for other causes of neonatal hypoglycemia, including familial and congenital forms, are included as well. Additional codes P70.8 and P70.9 cover other transient carbohydrate metabolism disturbances, including neonatal hyperglycemia or unspecified metabolic disorders. These specific ICD-10 codes enable precise documentation and management of newborn metabolic issues linked to glucose regulation around birth.

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.
Congenital Hyperinsulinism
A familial, nontransient HYPOGLYCEMIA with defects in negative feedback of GLUCOSE-regulated INSULIN release. Clinical phenotypes include HYPOGLYCEMIA; HYPERINSULINEMIA; SEIZURES; COMA; and often large BIRTH WEIGHT. Several sub-types exist with the most common, type 1, associated with mutations on an ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS (subfamily C, member 8).
Fanconi Syndrome
A hereditary or acquired form of generalized dysfunction of the PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE without primary involvement of the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS. It is usually characterized by the tubular wasting of nutrients and salts (GLUCOSE; AMINO ACIDS; PHOSPHATES; and BICARBONATES) resulting in HYPOKALEMIA; ACIDOSIS; HYPERCALCIURIA; and PROTEINURIA.
