The ICD-10-CM code for hyponatremia is E87.1. This code is used to indicate hyponatremia that is not specified by cause. Hyponatremia is a condition in which the sodium level in the blood is too low.
The ICD-10-CM also has codes for hyponatremia that are specified by cause. For example, the code E87.11 is used for hyponatremia due to diuretics. The code E87.12 is used for hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).
The ICD-10-CM is updated every few years to add new codes and to make changes to existing codes. The current version is the ICD-10-CM 2023.
Here are some other ICD-10-CM codes that may be used for hyponatremia:
- E87.13: Hyponatremia due to water intoxication
- E87.14: Hyponatremia due to acute kidney injury
- E87.15: Hyponatremia due to salt-losing nephropathy
- E87.16: Hyponatremia due to Addison's disease
- E87.19: Hyponatremia due to other causes
The specific code that is used will depend on the specific diagnosis made by the healthcare provider.
