ICD-10 Code E80.7 – Disorder of bilirubin metabolism, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E80.7 – Disorder of bilirubin metabolism, unspecified
What it is
E80.7 identifies an unspecified disorder affecting bilirubin processing in the body. Use it when the record confirms a bilirubin metabolism problem but does not name a more specific inherited or acquired condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see jaundice, abnormal bilirubin findings, or a noted bilirubin metabolism disorder, but the chart should support the diagnosis rather than a nonspecific suspicion.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a disorder of bilirubin metabolism and no further detail is available. It also fits when the diagnosis is confirmed, but the type or cause is not specified in the record.
Do not assign it for isolated jaundice without a documented metabolic disorder. If the note identifies a specific bilirubin-related condition, code that condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use E80.7 for nonspecific abnormal liver tests, jaundice alone, or when a more specific bilirubin disorder is documented. Check documentation if the diagnosis is unclear.
Coding tip
Query the provider when the record says “bilirubin disorder” but does not specify whether it is metabolic, hereditary, or secondary.
