Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • 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).
  • Neonatal Hypoglycemia

    blood glucose concentration below the lower limit of established reference ranges in a newborn.
  • Idiopathic Ketotic Hypoglycemia|Accelerated Starvation

    ketotic hypoglycemia that usually occurs in young, thin children in association with infection or fasting, and which typically resolves by age 6-8 years.
  • Ketotic Hypoglycemia

    a condition in which hypoglycemia is accompanied by ketosis. this condition may be a manifestation of another condition such as glycogen storage disease, ketone utilization defects, growth hormone deficiency, or cortisol deficiency.

Convert P70.4 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 775.6 - Neonatal hypoglycemia
    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.

Uncommon Infant and Newborn Problems

It can be scary when your baby is sick, especially when it is not an everyday problem like a cold or a fever. You may not know whether the problem is serious or how to treat it. If you have concerns about your baby's health, call your health care provider right away.

Learning information about your baby's condition can help ease your worry. Do not be afraid to ask questions about your baby's care. By working together with your health care provider, you make sure that your baby gets the best care possible.

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.
