    Note
    • All neoplasms, whether functionally active or not, are classified in Chapter 2. Appropriate codes in this chapter (i.e. E05.8, E07.0, E16-E31, E34.-) may be used as additional codes to indicate either functional activity by neoplasms and ectopic endocrine tissue or hyperfunction and hypofunction of endocrine glands associated with neoplasms and other conditions classified elsewhere.

    Hyperparathyroidism and other disorders of parathyroid gland
Approximate Synonyms
  • Hyperparathyroidism, primary
  • Parathyroid hyperplasia
Clinical Information
  • A condition of abnormally elevated output of parathyroid hormone due to parathyroid hyperplasia or parathyroid neoplasms. It is characterized by the combination of hypercalcemia, phosphaturia, elevated renal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin d3 synthesis, and increased bone resorption.
  • Abnormal increase in the number of otherwise normal cells in the parathyroid gland without tumor formation that leading to enlargement of the gland; it differs from hypertrophy, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells.
  • Hyperfunction of the parathyroid glands resulting in the overproduction of parathyroid hormone. It is caused by parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hyperplasia, parathyroid carcinoma, and multiple endocrine neoplasia. It is associated with hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia. Signs and symptoms include weakness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, constipation, depression, bone pain, osteoporosis, cystic bone lesions, and kidney stones.
ICD-10-CM E21.0 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
  • 643 Endocrine disorders with mcc
  • 644 Endocrine disorders with cc
  • 645 Endocrine disorders without cc/mcc
