What Elevated Lipase ICD codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Elevated Lipase ICD codes, there’s only one: R74.8 - Abnormal levels of other serum enzymes. This ICD-10 code is meant for patients confirmed to have increased serum enzyme levels, including alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, serum creatine, lipase, and more.
Please note that this ICD-10 code is not valid as a principal diagnosis because an underlying condition causes abnormal increases in serum enzymes. Once the cause has been identified, you must use the corresponding ICD-10 as a principal diagnosis.
In the case of having elevated lipase, the corresponding ICD-10 code has to be for something related to the pancreas. It will likely be something for pancreatitis.
