Code Classification

  • Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
    (E00–E89)
    • Metabolic disorders
      (E70-E88)
      • Other disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance
        (E87)

E87.2 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of acidosis. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Acidosis

Non-specific codes like E87.2 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for acidosis:

  • Use E87.20 for Acidosis, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E87.21 for Acute metabolic acidosis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E87.22 for Chronic metabolic acidosis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use E87.29 for Other acidosis - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Acidosis

    a pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. the two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up.
  • Acidosis, Lactic

    acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized. it may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus; leukemia; or liver failure.
  • Acidosis, Renal Tubular

    a group of genetic disorders of the kidney tubules characterized by the accumulation of metabolically produced acids with elevated plasma chloride, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. defective renal acidification of urine (proximal tubules) or low renal acid excretion (distal tubules) can lead to complications such as hypokalemia, hypercalcinuria with nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, and rickets.
  • Acidosis, Respiratory

    respiratory retention of carbon dioxide. it may be chronic or acute.
  • Diabetic Ketoacidosis

    a life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus, primarily of type 1 diabetes mellitus with severe insulin deficiency and extreme hyperglycemia. it is characterized by ketosis; dehydration; and depressed consciousness leading to coma.
  • Hypoaldosteronism

    a congenital or acquired condition of insufficient production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex leading to diminished aldosterone-mediated synthesis of na(+)-k(+)-exchanging atpase in renal tubular cells. clinical symptoms include hyperkalemia, sodium-wasting, hypotension, and sometimes metabolic acidosis.
  • Acidosis

    an abnormally high acidity of the blood and other body tissues. acidosis can be either respiratory or metabolic.
  • Acidosis

    an abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
  • Acidosis, CTCAE|Acidosis|Acidosis

    a disorder characterized by abnormally high acidity (high hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
  • Autosomal Recessive Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis-4 with Hemolytic Anemia|DRTA4

    an autosomal recessive type of distal renal tubular acidosis caused by mutation(s) in the slc4a1 gene, encoding band 3 anion transport protein. additionally, it may be characterized by hemolytic anemia.
  • Diabetes Mellitus due to Underlying Condition with Ketoacidosis with Coma|Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma

    evidence of diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis with coma.
  • Diabetes Mellitus due to Underlying Condition with Ketoacidosis without Coma|Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis without coma

    evidence of diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with ketoacidosis without coma.
  • Diabetic Ketoacidosis|DKA|DKA|Elevated Ketones/Diabetic Ketoacidosis

    the metabolic condition resulted from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, in which the shift of acid-base status of the body toward the acid side because of loss of base or retention of acids other than carbonic acid is accompanied by the accumulation of ketone bodies in body tissues and fluids.
  • Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis

    failure of the renal tubules of the kidney to excrete urine of sufficient acidity, resulting in metabolic acidosis.
  • Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus with Ketoacidosis with Coma|Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with coma

    evidence of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with coma.
  • Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus with Ketoacidosis without Coma|Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma

    evidence of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma.
  • Fetal Acidosis|Fetal Acidemia|Fetal Acidemia

    an abnormally high hydrogen ion concentration (umbilical arterial blood ph less than 7.00) in fetal blood or tissue.
  • Grade 1 Acidosis, CTCAE|Grade 1 Acidosis

    ph =7.3

    a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes.
  • Metabolic Acidosis|Acidosis|metabolic acidosis

    increased acidity in the blood secondary to acid base imbalance. causes include diabetes, kidney failure and shock.
  • Osteopetrosis with Renal Tubular Acidosis|Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis 3|Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis, Type 3|Carbonic Anhydrase II Deficiency|Guibaud-Vainsel Syndrome|Marble Brain Disease|OPTB3

    a rare, autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutation in the ca2 gene. it is characterized by osteopetrosis, renal tubular acidosis, and cerebral calcifications. it results in growth failure, mental retardation, and fractures.

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Patient Education


Metabolic Disorders

Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body's fuel. Your body can use this fuel right away, or it can store the energy in your body tissues, such as your liver, muscles, and body fat.

A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt this process. When this happens, you might have too much of some substances or too little of other ones that you need to stay healthy. There are different groups of disorders. Some affect the breakdown of amino acids, carbohydrates, or lipids. Another group, mitochondrial diseases, affects the parts of the cells that produce the energy.

You can develop a metabolic disorder when some organs, such as your liver or pancreas, become diseased or do not function normally. Diabetes is an example.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
