Clinical Information

• Hypoalbuminemia

  a condition in which albumin level in blood (serum albumin) is below the normal range. hypoalbuminemia may be due to decreased hepatic albumin synthesis, increased albumin catabolism, altered albumin distribution, or albumin loss through the urine (albuminuria).

• Hypoproteinemia

  a condition in which total serum protein level is below the normal range. hypoproteinemia can be caused by protein malabsorption in the gastrointestinal tract, edema, or proteinuria.

• Protein-Losing Enteropathies

  pathological conditions in the intestines that are characterized by the gastrointestinal loss of serum proteins, including serum albumin; immunoglobulins; and at times lymphocytes. severe condition can result in hypogammaglobulinemia or lymphopenia. protein-losing enteropathies are associated with a number of diseases including intestinal lymphangiectasis; whipple's disease; and neoplasms of the small intestine.

• APTX wt Allele|AOA|AOA1|AXA1|Aprataxin wt Allele|Ataxia 1, Early Onset With Hypoalbuminemia Gene|EAOH|EOAHA|FHA-HIT

  human aptx wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p21.1 and is approximately 139 kb in length. this allele, which encodes aprataxin protein, is involved in dna repair. mutation of the gene is associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia type 1.

• Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia Type 1|AOA1|Ataxia, Early-Onset, with Oculomotor Apraxia and Hypoalbuminemia|EAOH

  an autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia caused by mutation(s) in the aptx gene, encoding aprataxin. it is characterized by peripheral axonal neuropathy, oculomotor apraxia, and hypoalbuminemia.

• Grade 1 Hypoalbuminemia, CTCAE|Grade 1 Hypoalbuminemia

• Grade 2 Hypoalbuminemia, CTCAE|Grade 2 Hypoalbuminemia

  <3-2 g/dl; <30-20 g/l

• Grade 3 Hypoalbuminemia, CTCAE|Grade 3 Hypoalbuminemia

  <2 g/dl; <20 g/l

• Grade 4 Hypoalbuminemia, CTCAE|Grade 4 Hypoalbuminemia

  life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated

• Grade 5 Hypoalbuminemia, CTCAE|Grade 5 Hypoalbuminemia

  death

• Hypoalbuminemia

  concentration of serum albumin below normal limits for the age related normal range.

• Hypoalbuminemia, CTCAE|Hypoalbuminemia|Hypoalbuminemia

  a disorder characterized by laboratory test results that indicate a low concentration of albumin in the blood.

• Analbuminemia

  a rare, autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by the absence or severe reduction of circulating human serum albumin.

• Hypoproteinemia

  a laboratory test result indicating abnormally low levels of total protein in the serum.

E88.09 is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together diagnosis codes for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on their principal diagnosis in areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). Once a patient is assigned a particular diagnostic category, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care for that patient. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Convert E88.09 to ICD-9-CM

• ICD-9-CM Code: 273.8 - Dis plas protein met NEC
  Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

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.
