E70.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of disorder of aromatic amino-acid metabolism, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code E70 is used to code Inborn error of metabolism

Inborn errors of metabolism form a large class of genetic diseases involving congenital disorders of metabolism. The majority are due to defects of single genes that code for enzymes that facilitate conversion of various substances (substrates) into others (products). In most of the disorders, problems arise due to accumulation of substances which are toxic or interfere with normal function, or to the effects of reduced ability to synthesize essential compounds. Inborn errors of metabolism are now often referred to as congenital metabolic diseases or inherited metabolic diseases.

Other disturbances of aromatic amino-acid metabolism (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code E70.9 and a single ICD9 code, 270.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
