What ICD-10 Codes Are Used for Hyperbilirubinemia?
Hyperbilirubinemia, characterized by high levels of bilirubin in the blood, can occur for various reasons. Here are leading hyperbilirubinemia ICD-10 codes:
- P59.9 - Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes: It is used when an infant has hyperbilirubinemia, manifesting as jaundice, but the cause isn't unknown.
- E80.6 - Other disorders of bilirubin metabolism: This code can be used for various conditions, including forms of hyperbilirubinemia not covered by other codes.
- P58.0 - Hemolytic disease of the newborn due to isoimmunization: This code is used when hyperbilirubinemia results from isoimmunization, where the mother's antibodies attack the newborn's red blood cells.
- K71.89 - Other toxic liver disease: This code can be used when liver disease resulting from toxins, including alcohol or medications, causes hyperbilirubinemia.
- P59.3 - Neonatal jaundice from breast milk inhibitor: This code is used when the cause of an infant's hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice is an inhibitor found in breast milk.
Which Hyperbilirubinemia ICD Codes Are Billable?
- P59.9 - Yes, it's billable. This code is used when the cause of an infant's jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia is unknown.
- E80.6 - Yes, it's billable. This code covers various conditions involving disorders of bilirubin metabolism, including hyperbilirubinemia.
- P58.0 - Yes, it's billable. This code is used for hyperbilirubinemia resulting from isoimmunization in newborns.
- K71.89 - Yes, it's billable. This code is used for hyperbilirubinemia caused by other toxic liver diseases.
- P59.3 - Yes, it's billable. This code is for neonatal jaundice due to a breast milk inhibitor.
Clinical Information
Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition with an excessive amount of bilirubin in the blood.
- The most common symptom of hyperbilirubinemia is jaundice, characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes.
- It can occur in newborns due to the breakdown of fetal hemoglobin as it is replaced with adult hemoglobin.
- Adults can develop hyperbilirubinemia due to liver conditions, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or conditions that lead to an increased breakdown of red blood cells.
Synonyms Include:
- Bilirubin Disorder
- Bilirubin Metabolism Disorder
- Hyperbilirubinaemia
- Jaundice
- Bilirubinemia

Commonly asked questions
The most noticeable sign of hyperbilirubinemia is jaundice, which causes a yellowish discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes.
Hyperbilirubinemia in adults can be caused by conditions like liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, or conditions that lead to an increased breakdown of red blood cells, such as hemolytic anemia.
In newborns, mild hyperbilirubinemia often resolves on its own. More severe cases may require treatments such as phototherapy or, in very severe cases, a blood transfusion.
