ICD-10 Code E74.82 – Disorders of citrate metabolism (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E74.82 – Disorders of citrate metabolism
What it is
E74.82 identifies disorders affecting citrate metabolism, a rare metabolic problem involving how the body processes citrate. Use it when documentation specifically states a citrate metabolism disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Standard references describe possible metabolic abnormalities, but the exact presentation depends on the underlying disorder and how it is recorded in the chart.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a disorder of citrate metabolism, citrate metabolic defect, or a comparable diagnosis. It may also apply when the record clearly links symptoms or testing to a citrate-specific metabolic condition. If the documentation is vague, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use E74.82 for nonspecific metabolic disorders, electrolyte problems, or isolated abnormal lab findings without a documented citrate metabolism disorder. Avoid it when another confirmed diagnosis better explains the condition.
Coding tip
Assign E74.82 only when the record names citrate metabolism; otherwise query for clarification.
