Nonspecific abnormal results of other endocrine function study

This code signifies abnormal findings from endocrine function tests that are not specific enough to diagnose a particular endocrine disorder. It indicates that laboratory results suggest an endocrine imbalance or dysfunction, but further investigation is required for a definitive diagnosis.

Use this code when endocrine function studies (e.g., hormone levels, stimulation/suppression tests) show results outside the normal range, but the physician has not yet established a specific endocrine diagnosis. Documentation should clearly state "abnormal endocrine function study results" without specifying the underlying condition.

• Do not use this code if a definitive endocrine diagnosis has been made; instead, code the specific condition.
• This code is often a temporary diagnosis while awaiting further diagnostic workup or specialist consultation.
• Always sequence this code after any signs or symptoms that prompted the endocrine study.
