Adrenocortical Insufficiency ICD-10-CM Codes

Common symptoms of adrenocortical insufficiency include fatigue, low blood pressure, weight loss, and skin changes such as hyperpigmentation.

Adrenocortical insufficiency is usually diagnosed through blood tests that measure levels of adrenal hormones. Additional tests like ACTH stimulation tests and imaging studies may also be used.

Treatment options for adrenocortical insufficiency primarily involve hormone replacement therapy to replace the deficient hormones. Additional treatments may include medications to manage symptoms and immediate intervention for Addisonian crisis.
