Transitory disorders of carbohydrate metabolism specific to newborn (P70) ICD-10-CM
The P70 code range covers transitory disorders of carbohydrate metabolism specific to newborn with 8 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 7 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the P70 range.
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.
About the P70 Code Range
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.
