Personal history of endo, nutritional and metabolic disease

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a resolved endocrine, nutritional, or metabolic disorder that is not specifically classified elsewhere. It signifies that the patient no longer has the active condition but its prior existence is clinically relevant for ongoing care. This could include conditions like a history of transient hyperthyroidism, resolved vitamin deficiencies, or a past metabolic acidosis.

Use this code when documenting a patient's personal history of an endocrine, nutritional, or metabolic condition that is no longer active and does not have a more specific "personal history of" code. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the past condition might influence current treatment decisions or risk assessments. It should be used in conjunction with codes for any current, active conditions.

• Ensure the condition is truly resolved and not an active, ongoing issue requiring a current disease code.
• Always search for a more specific "personal history of" code before defaulting to this "other" category.
• Do not use this code for conditions that have specific sequelae codes; instead, code the sequela.
