ICD-10 Code E75.6 – Lipid storage disorder, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E75.6 – Lipid storage disorder, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies a lipid storage disorder that is not further specified in the record. Use it when the chart documents a lipid storage disease but does not name the exact type.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Lipid storage disorders may be associated with organ enlargement, neurologic findings, or other systemic manifestations depending on the specific condition.
When to use this code
Use E75.6 when the provider documents a lipid storage disorder and no more specific diagnosis is available. It also fits when the condition is known, but the exact subtype is not stated in the note or report.
Choose a more specific code if the record identifies a named lipid storage disease. If the documentation is unclear, code only what is supported and query for clarification when needed.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for a clearly identified lipid storage disorder with a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Do not assign it for nonspecific abnormal lipid levels or other metabolic disorders.
Coding tip
Check the provider’s exact wording first; unspecified codes are appropriate only when the specific lipid storage disorder is not documented.
