International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
Mixed hyperlipidemia is a condition where you have elevated levels of more than one type of fat (lipid) in your blood. This typically includes high cholesterol and high triglycerides occurring together. These elevated fat levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke if left untreated. The condition is often managed through dietary changes, exercise, and sometimes medications to help lower these fat levels in your blood.
Additional Information
This is a diagnostic code used when multiple lipid abnormalities are present simultaneously. Treatment approach varies based on individual risk factors and specific lipid levels.
