Disturbances of amino-acid transport
  • 2015
  • Billable Thru Sept 30/2015
  • Non-Billable On/After Oct 1/2015

  • ICD-9-CM 270.0 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 270.0 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Convert to ICD-10-CM: 270.0 converts approximately to:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM E72.00 Disorders of amino-acid transport, unspecified
    Or:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM E72.01 Cystinuria
    Or:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM E72.04 Cystinosis
    Or:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM E72.09 Other disorders of amino-acid transport
Approximate Synonyms
  • 3-methylcrotonyl glycinuria
  • Amino acid transport disorder
  • Cystinosis
  • Cystinuria
  • Cystinuria type 1
  • Cystinuria, type 1
  • Disorder of amino acid transport
  • Fanconi syndrome
  • Glycinuria, 3 methylcrotonyl
  • Hartnup disease
  • Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency
  • Neutral 1 amino acid transport defect
Clinical Information
  • An autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by defective transportation of cystine across the lysosomal membranes and systemic deposition of cystine crystals in the body. It is associated with slight increase of the plasma cystine, cystinuria, aminoaciduria, glycosuria, polyuria, hypophosphatemia, rickets, and renal tubular dysfunction
  • Constellation of clinical and laboratory manifestations produced by generalized proximal tubular insufficiency in the presence of normal, or nearly normal, glomerular filtration
  • Disorder of amino acid transport characterized by the childhood (or rarely adult) onset of photosensitive dermatitis and intermittent neurologic symptoms; ataxia, personality changes, migraine headaches, and photophobia may occur periodically; results from impaired sodium-dependent transport of neutral amino acids across the brush border membrane of the small intestine and renal tubular epithelium
  • Inherited abnormality of renal tubular transport of dibasic amino acids leading to massive urinary excretion of cystine, lysine, arginine, and ornithine
  • Lysosomal storage disorders of unknown molecular defect, characterized by widespread deposition of cystine crystals in reticuloendothelial cells
Applies To
  • Cystinosis
  • Cystinuria
  • Fanconi (-de Toni) (-Debré) syndrome
  • Glycinuria (renal)
  • Hartnup disease

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 270.0 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services. Can't find a code?
