Abn lev hormones in specimens from female genital organs

This code indicates an abnormal concentration of hormones detected in laboratory specimens collected from a female patient's genital organs. It signifies a deviation from normal hormone levels within the reproductive system, often identified through biopsies or fluid analysis.

Apply this code when pathology or laboratory reports confirm abnormal hormone levels in tissue or fluid samples obtained directly from female genital organs (e.g., ovary, uterus, fallopian tube, vagina). This is typically used when the specific hormone imbalance is identified but the underlying cause (e.g., tumor, inflammatory condition) is not yet definitively diagnosed or is being investigated.

• Do not use this code if the abnormal hormone levels are detected in blood or urine; those findings are typically coded with R89.x or R82.x codes, respectively.
• Always sequence this code after the definitive diagnosis if the underlying cause of the abnormal hormone level is known and documented.
• Ensure documentation specifies the specimen source as originating from a female genital organ.
