2008 ICD-9-CM Volume 1 Diagnosis Codes Home > Endocrine, Nutritional And Metabolic Diseases, And Immunity Disorders 240-279 > Other Metabolic Disorders And Immunity Disorders 270-279 > ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276 Disorders of fluid electrolyte and acid-base balance 276 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.0 Hyperosmolality and/or hypernatremia Excessive amount of sodium in the blood. (Dorland, 27th ed) Hypernatremia; higher than normal levels of sodium in the circulating blood. 276.0 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.0 contains 16 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.1 Hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia Deficiency of sodium in the blood; salt depletion. (Dorland, 27th ed) Hypernatremia; lower than normal levels of sodium in the circulating blood. 276.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.1 contains 16 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.2 Acidosis (met-ah-BOL-ik as-id-O-sis) A condition in which the blood is too acidic. It may be caused by severe illness or sepsis (bacteria in the bloodstream). A pathologic condition resulting from accumulation of acid or depletion of the alkaline reserve (bicarbonate) content of the blood and body tissues, and characterized by an increase in hydrogen ion concentration (decrease in pH). (Dorland, 27th ed) Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized. It may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure. An abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. Respiratory retention of carbon dioxide. It may be chronic or acute. 276.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.2 contains 15 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.3 Alkalosis A pathological condition that removes acid or adds base to the body fluids. A state due to excess loss of carbon dioxide from the body. (Dorland, 27th ed) An abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. 276.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.3 contains 9 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.4 Mixed acid-base balance disorder 276.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.4 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.5 Volume depletion disorder A condition caused by the loss of too much water from the body. Severe diarrhea or vomiting can cause dehydration. An abnormally low volume of blood circulating through the body. It may result in hypovolemic shock (see SHOCK). The condition that results from excessive loss of water from a living organism. 276.5 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.50 Volume depletion, unspecified 276.50 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.50 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.51 Dehydration 276.51 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.51 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.52 Hypovolemia 276.52 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.52 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.6 Fluid overload disorder Fluid retention, overload, or edema. 276.6 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.6 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.7 Hyperpotassemia Abnormally high potassium concentration in the blood, most often due to defective renal excretion. It is characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated T waves and depressed P waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). In severe cases, weakness and flaccid paralysis may occur. (Dorland, 27th ed) Hyperkalemia; higher than normal levels of potassium in the circulating blood; associated with kidney failure or sometimes with the use of diuretic drugs. 276.7 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.7 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.8 Hypopotassemia A condition due to decreased dietary intake of potassium, as in starvation or failure to administer in intravenous solutions, or to gastrointestinal loss in diarrhea, chronic laxative abuse, vomiting, gastric suction, or bowel diversion. Severe potassium deficiency may produce muscular weakness and lead to paralysis and respiratory failure. Muscular malfunction may result in hypoventilation, paralytic ileus, hypotension, muscle twitches, tetany, and rhabomyolysis. Nephropathy from potassium deficit impairs the concentrating mechanism, producing polyuria and decreased maximal urinary concentrating ability with secondary polydipsia. (Merck Manual, 16th ed) Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders. (Dorland, 27th ed) Hypokalemia; lower than normal levels of potassium in the circulating blood. 276.8 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.8 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 276.9 Electrolyte and fluid disorders not elsewhere classified 276.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 276.9 contains 20 index entries
