ICD-10 code for Uricacidemia

The ICD-10-CM code for Uricacidemia is E79.0 (Hyperuricemia without signs of inflammatory arthritis and tophaceous disease).

Within E79, choose E79.0 (Hyperuricemia without signs of inflammatory arthritis and tophaceous disease) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (E79.1), Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (E79.2), other disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (E79.8) and disorder of purine and pyrimidine metabolism, unspecified (E79.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 947 (Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.261) and DRG 948 (Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.7835), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
