ICD-10 chapter

Chapter IV Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases

Chapter IV of ICD-10 is titled “Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases”. It spans codes E00–E90, in 8 blocks.

What Chapter IV excludes

Conditions that look similar but belong under another code.

  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium O00-O99
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified R00-R99
  • transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to fetus and newborn P70-P74

Coding notes

  • All neoplasms, whether functionally active or not, are classified in Chapter II. Appropriate codes in this chapter (i.e. E05.8, E07.0, E16-E31, E34.-) may be used, if desired, as additional codes to indicate either functional activity by neoplasms and ectopic endocrine tissue or hyperfunction and hypofunction of endocrine glands associated with neoplasms and other conditions classified elsewhere.

Blocks in Chapter IV
