E64 — Sequelae of malnutrition and other nutritional deficiencies

Code first

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before E64. E64 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

• condition resulting from (sequela) of malnutrition and other nutritional deficiencies

Note

• This category is to be used to indicate conditions in categories E43, E44, E46, E50-E63 as the cause of sequelae, which are themselves classified elsewhere. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such; they also include the late effects of diseases classifiable to the above categories if the disease itself is no longer present

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 4

The conditions below can never be reported together with E64 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

• transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn (P70-P74)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from E50-E64

The conditions below are not part of E64, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, E64 and the excluded code may both be reported.

• nutritional anemias (D50-D53)
