0.000What This Code Means
A bone disease caused by aluminum accumulation in the body, leading to weak and soft bones similar to rickets.
Coding Tips
- •Document the source of aluminum exposure (dialysis, occupational, or other)
- •Link to underlying conditions such as chronic kidney disease or long-term dialysis when applicable
Clinical Significance
Aluminum bone disease represents bone softening and dysfunction due to aluminum accumulation, typically seen in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis or with occupational exposure. This diagnosis indicates complex metabolic bone disease requiring specialized nephrology care and aluminum chelation therapy.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Documentation of bone disease related to aluminum accumulation
- ✓Clinical or radiographic evidence of aluminum bone disease
- ✓Laboratory evidence of elevated aluminum levels when available
- ✓History of aluminum exposure (dialysis, occupational, environmental)
- ✓Bone biopsy findings if performed
- ✓Treatment with aluminum chelation therapy
- ✓Assessment of underlying kidney disease if present
