Adrenal insufficiency can be caused by defects in the ADRENAL GLANDS, the PITUITARY GLAND, or the HYPOTHALAMUS. An adrenal disease characterized by the progressive destruction of the ADRENAL CORTEX, resulting in insufficient production of ALDOSTERONE and HYDROCORTISONE. Clinical symptoms include ANOREXIA; NAUSEA; WEIGHT LOSS; MUSCLE WEAKNESS; and HYPERPIGMENTATION of the SKIN due to increase in circulating levels of ACTH precursor hormone which stimulates MELANOCYTES. 255.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 255.4 contains 52 index entries View the ICD-9-CM Volume 1 255.* hierarchy Alternate Terminology Addisonian crisis Addison's disease NOS Adrenal: atrophy (autoimmune) calcification crisis hemorrhage infarction insufficiency NOS 255.4 Excludes tuberculous Addison's disease (017.6)  Index entries containing 255.4: Addison's disease (bronze) (primary adrenal insufficiency) 255.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 melanoderma (adrenal cortical hypofunction) 255.4 Addisonian crisis or melanosis (acute adrenocortical insufficiency) 255.4 Atrophy, atrophic adrenal (autoimmune) (capsule) (cortex) (gland) 255.4 with hypofunction 255.4 suprarenal (autoimmune) (capsule) (gland) 255.4 with hypofunction 255.4 Bernard-Sergent syndrome (acute adrenocortical insufficiency) 255.4 Bronze, bronzed disease (Addison's) (skin) 255.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 Calcification adrenal (capsule) (gland) 255.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 suprarenal (capsule) (gland) 255.4 Crisis addisonian (acute adrenocortical insufficiency) 255.4 adrenal (cortical) 255.4 Decrease, decreased function adrenal (cortex) 255.4 medulla 255.5 Deficiency, deficient corticoadrenal 255.4 glucocorticoid 255.4 Degeneration, degenerative adrenal (capsule) (gland) 255.8 with hypofunction 255.4 suprarenal (capsule) (gland) 255.8 with hypofunction 255.4 Disease, diseased - see also Syndrome Addison's (bronze) (primary adrenal insufficiency) 255.4 anemia (pernicious) 281.0 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 adrenal (gland) (capsule) (cortex) 255.9 hypofunction 255.4 bronze (Addison's) 255.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 suprarenal (gland) (capsule) 255.9 hypofunction 255.4 Dysadrenocortism 255.9 hypofunction 255.4 Dysfunction adrenal (cortical) 255.9 hypofunction 255.4 suprarenal 255.9 hypofunction 255.4 Hemorrhage, hemorrhagic (nontraumatic) 459.0 adrenal (capsule) (gland) (medulla) 255.4 newborn 772.5 suprarenal (capsule) (gland) 255.4 fetus or newborn 772.5 Hypoadrenalism 255.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 Hypoadrenocorticism 255.4 pituitary 253.4 Hypoaldosteronism 255.4 Hypofunction adrenal (gland) 255.4 cortex 255.4 medulla 255.5 specified NEC 255.5 corticoadrenal NEC 255.4 Hyposuprarenalism 255.4 Infarct, infarction adrenal (capsule) (gland) 255.4 suprarenal (capsule) (gland) 255.4 Insufficiency, insufficient adrenal (gland) (acute) (chronic) 255.4 medulla 255.5 primary 255.4 specified site NEC 255.5 adrenocortical 255.4 corticoadrenal 255.4 suprarenal 255.4 medulla 255.5 Melanoderma, melanodermia 709.09 Addison's (primary adrenal insufficiency) 255.4 Melanosis 709.09 addisonian (primary adrenal insufficiency) 255.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.6 adrenal 255.4 suprarenal 255.4 Melasma 709.09 adrenal (gland) 255.4 suprarenal (gland) 255.4 Steroid effects (adverse) (iatrogenic) withdrawal correct substance properly administered 255.4 Syndrome - see also Disease Addisonian 255.4 Bernard-Sergent (acute adrenocortical insufficiency) 255.4 Thesaurismosis melanin 255.4 Unresponsiveness, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) 255.4 Withdrawal symptoms, syndrome steroid NEC correct substance properly administered 255.4
