  • ICD-9-CM 271.8 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 271.8 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).

Clinical Information
  • Either of two genetic disorders characterized by urinary excretion of large amounts of oxalate, with nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, early onset of renal failure, and often a generalized deposit of calcium oxalate, resulting from a defect in glyoxalate metabolism
  • Lysosomal storage disease caused by defective alpha-l-fucosidase and accumulation of fucose containing glycoconjugates; clinical symptoms include psychomotor deterioration, growth retardation, hepatosplenomegaly, cardiomegaly, and seizures
  • Lysosomal storage disease due to defective alpha-mannosidase with resultant oligosaccharide accumulation
  • Lysosome storage disease due to alpha-l-fucosidase (e.c. 3.2.1.51) deficiency in leukocytes manifested by abnormal accumulation in tissues and urinary excretion of partially catabolized oligosaccharides, glycoasparagines, and glycolipids with alpha-linked fucose at the nonreducing end of the glycogen chain. The phenotype is variable and may include delayed growth and mental development, progressive neurological deterioration, hurler-like (mucopolysaccharidosis i-h) coarse facies, recurrent infections, visceromegaly, skeletal abnormalities, joint contractures, deafness, and angiokeratoma corporis diffusum. Several types are recognized by different researchers. The form exhibiting a longer survival, mild neurological manifestations, and angiokeratoma is sometimes referred to as fucosidosis type ii. In a different scheme, three different types are recognized according to their age of onset. Types i and ii are the most severe and have their onsets at 10 and 18 months, respectively with life expectancy of 6 years. Type iii represents a juvenile form which is marked by a milder form of psychomotor retardation and a slower deterioration of neurological activities. Hurler-like (gargyloid) facies occur mainly in types i and ii and is less commonly in type iii

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 271.8 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?
