Testicular hyperfunction

This code represents an endocrine disorder characterized by excessive production of hormones by the testes, primarily testosterone. This hyperfunction leads to elevated androgen levels in the male body, which can manifest in various physiological changes.

Use this code when documentation indicates abnormally high testicular hormone production, such as elevated serum testosterone levels. This diagnosis is often supported by laboratory findings and clinical signs of androgen excess.

• Differentiate from adrenal hyperfunction, which involves different endocrine glands.
• Ensure documentation specifies the testes as the source of hyperfunction, not other androgen-producing organs.
• Consider co-reporting any associated symptoms or conditions, such as precocious puberty or virilization, if present and documented.
