2025 ICD-10-CM code E83.59
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases - Disorders of mineral metabolism 4 Feed
Other disorders of calcium metabolism. This code encompasses calcium metabolism disorders that are not hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia.
Medical necessity must be established by documenting the signs, symptoms, and diagnostic test results pointing to a calcium metabolism disorder not otherwise classified. The chosen treatment approach should be justified based on the patient's specific condition.
Diagnosis and treatment are based on patient history, symptoms, and lab results such as calcium, albumin, vitamin D, magnesium, phosphorus, PTH levels, and kidney function tests. Imaging like ultrasound, DXA scans, and MRI may be used. Treatment may involve diuretics, increased water intake, and dietary changes.

In simple words: This code refers to problems with how your body processes calcium, other than having too much or too little calcium in your blood. An example is a condition called idiopathic hypercalciuria, where your body gets rid of too much calcium in your urine.
Other disorders of calcium metabolism, excluding hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia. Conditions classified elsewhere, such as idiopathic hypercalciuria, may be included in this code.
Example 1: A 50-year-old male presents with recurrent kidney stones and abdominal pain. Lab tests reveal elevated calcium levels in his urine, diagnosed as idiopathic hypercalciuria. E83.59 is used., A 60-year-old postmenopausal female undergoes a DXA scan which shows decreased bone density.After ruling out other causes, she is diagnosed with calcium malabsorption. E83.59 is used., A 30-year-old patient exhibits symptoms like fatigue and muscle weakness.Blood tests indicate abnormal calcium levels, but not hyper- or hypocalcemia. Further investigation suggests a rare genetic disorder affecting calcium transport. E83.59 is used.
Documentation should include details of the specific calcium metabolism disorder, supporting lab results (calcium, albumin, vitamin D, PTH, etc.), imaging findings, and treatment plan.
