The ICD-10 code for hyperthermia is R50.9.
Hyperthermia refers to an elevated body temperature that is not caused by a fever. This can be due to various factors, including:
- Exposure to extreme heat: This can occur in hot environments, such as during heat waves or while exercising vigorously in hot weather.
- Medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as heat stroke, thyroid storm, and malignant hyperthermia, can cause hyperthermia.
- Medications: Some medications, such as antipsychotics and antidepressants, can increase the risk of hyperthermia.
It is important to note that the ICD-10 code for hyperthermia may vary depending on the specific cause and severity of the condition.
