Abn lev enzymes in specimens from male genital organs

This code signifies the presence of atypical enzyme levels detected in laboratory samples originating from the male reproductive system. These abnormalities can indicate underlying dysfunction or pathology within organs such as the testes, epididymis, prostate, or seminal vesicles.

Apply this code when laboratory results show elevated or decreased enzyme concentrations (e.g., prostatic acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase) in semen, prostatic fluid, or tissue biopsies from male genital organs, and a more specific diagnosis is not yet established. Documentation should clearly state the abnormal enzyme finding and its source.

• Do not use this code if a definitive diagnosis explaining the enzyme abnormality is documented (e.g., prostate cancer, orchitis).
• This code is often a temporary or "rule out" diagnosis while further investigation is underway.
• Consider sequencing this code as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is a symptom or another condition related to the male genital system.
