E72.5Disorders of glycine metabolism

E72.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disorders of glycine metabolism. It belongs to category E72 (other disorders of amino-acid metabolism), block E70-E88 (metabolic disorders) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E72 (other disorders of amino-acid metabolism), E72.5 is specifically for disorders of glycine metabolism. Related codes cover disorders of amino-acid transport (E72.0), disorders of sulfur-bearing amino-acid metabolism (E72.1), disorders of urea cycle metabolism (E72.2), disorders of lysine and hydroxylysine metabolism (E72.3), disorders of ornithine metabolism (E72.4), other specified disorders of amino-acid metabolism (E72.8) and disorder of amino-acid metabolism, unspecified (E72.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E72.50 (unspecified), E72.51 (hyperglycinemia), E72.52 (Trimethylaminuria), E72.53 (hyperoxaluria), E72.54 (hyperoxaluria) and E72.59 (metabolism).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
