Understanding hyperphosphatemia diagnosis, treatment, and management is crucial for healthcare professionals. This resource provides information on elevated phosphate levels, clinical documentation for hyperphosphatemia, ICD-10 codes for hyperphosphatemia, medical coding for hyperphosphatemia, phosphate blood test interpretation, symptoms of high phosphate, causes of hyperphosphatemia, and treatment options for hyperphosphatemia. Learn about normal phosphate levels, hyperphosphatemia management in chronic kidney disease, and best practices for documenting hyperphosphatemia in patient charts.
Also known as
Disorders of phosphorus metabolism
Includes hyperphosphatemia.
Disorders of mineral metabolism
May be relevant in some hyperphosphatemia cases.
Uric acid nephrolithiasis
Sometimes associated with hyperphosphatemia.
Follow this step-by-step guide to choose the correct ICD-10 code.
Is the hyperphosphatemia due to chronic kidney disease?
Yes
Is it stage 1-5 chronic kidney disease?
No
Is there an acute kidney injury?

Coding hyperphosphatemia without specifying acute or chronic status leads to inaccurate severity reflection and reimbursement.
Failing to code the underlying condition causing hyperphosphatemia hinders data analysis and quality reporting for proper risk adjustment.
Inaccurate coding of CKD stage with hyperphosphatemia can impact quality metrics and appropriate treatment strategies.
Patient presents with hyperphosphatemia, an elevated serum phosphate level exceeding the normal range. Differential diagnosis includes chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, tumor lysis syndrome, hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D toxicity, and rhabdomyolysis. Patient's phosphate level is [insert value] mgdL. Clinical manifestations may include symptoms such as muscle cramps, tetany, bone pain, and calcification of soft tissues. In severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias and seizures may occur. Assessment includes review of medications, dietary history, and relevant laboratory data including calcium, parathyroid hormone, creatinine, and vitamin D levels. Treatment for hyperphosphatemia focuses on addressing the underlying cause. Phosphate binders, such as calcium acetate, sevelamer carbonate, or lanthanum carbonate, may be prescribed to reduce phosphate absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Dietary phosphate restriction is often recommended. Patient education regarding low-phosphate diet and medication adherence is crucial. Monitoring of serum phosphate, calcium, and kidney function is essential to assess treatment efficacy and prevent complications. ICD-10 code E83.5 is appropriate for disorders of phosphorus metabolism. CPT codes for laboratory testing include 82330 for phosphorus and 82306 for calcium. Continued monitoring and follow-up care are necessary to manage hyperphosphatemia and prevent long-term sequelae.
