Graves Disease ICD-10-CM Codes | 2023

The exact cause of Graves' disease is unknown, but it's believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some triggers could include stress, smoking, radiation to the neck, medications, and viral infections.

Graves' disease can lead to heart problems, weak and brittle bones, severe thyrotoxicosis known as thyroid storm, and even pregnancy complications if left untreated. However, with proper treatment, most people live healthy lives.

Graves' disease doesn't usually go away on its own. Most patients need treatment to manage the symptoms and control the overactive thyroid gland.
