ICD-10-CM › E00-E89 › E70-E88 › E72.5 Disorders of glycine metabolism › E72.53

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

Billable FY2016 to FY2025, and a category header from FY2026.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

• E72.530 Primary hyperoxaluria, type 1
• E72.538 Other specified primary hyperoxaluria
• E72.539 Primary hyperoxaluria, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from E72 Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism

Excludes1 - never coded here

• disorders of:
• aromatic amino-acid metabolism (E70.-)
• branched-chain amino-acid metabolism (E71.0-E71.2)
• fatty-acid metabolism (E71.3)
• purine and pyrimidine metabolism (E79.-)
• gout (M1A.-, M10.-)

Inherited from the E70-E88 section Metabolic disorders (E70-E88)

Excludes1 - never coded here

• androgen insensitivity syndrome (E34.5-)
• congenital adrenal hyperplasia (E25.0)
• hemolytic anemias attributable to enzyme disorders (D55.-)
• Marfan syndrome (Q87.4-)
• 5-alpha-reductase deficiency (E29.1)

Excludes2 - not included here

• Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (Q79.6-)

How CDC's index refers to this code

Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.

• Oxalosis
• Oxaluria
• Hyperoxaluria > primary
• Disorder > glycine metabolism > oxalosis
• Disorder > glycine metabolism > oxaluria
• Disorder > metabolism NOS > amino-acid > glycine > hyperoxaluria > primary
