Abn lev hormones in specimens from male genital organs

This code signifies an abnormal concentration of hormones detected in laboratory specimens originating from a male's reproductive system. It indicates a deviation from normal hormonal ranges within the testes, seminal fluid, or other male genital organ tissues, suggesting potential endocrine dysfunction affecting male reproductive health.

Apply this code when laboratory results from male genital organ specimens (e.g., testicular biopsy, seminal fluid analysis) reveal hormone levels outside the established normal reference range. Documentation should clearly state the specific hormone(s) affected and the source of the specimen.

• Do not use for abnormal hormone levels found in blood or urine specimens; those require different codes.
• Specify the exact hormone abnormality (e.g., low testosterone, elevated estrogen) if known and documented.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when the primary reason for the encounter is the underlying condition causing the hormonal imbalance.
