ICD-10 Code for Acetonemia
The ICD-10-CM code for acetonemia is R79.89 — Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for acetonemia with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
R79.89 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
