E00-E07: Disorders of thyroid gland
E07: Other disorders of thyroid
The category E07 in ICD-10 refers to disorders of the thyroid that are not classified elsewhere. The group of conditions under this code mostly involve abnormalities in the function or structure of the thyroid gland, a vital organ that produces key hormones influencing your body's metabolism, energy generation, growth, and mood. Disorders within this group may manifest in several ways, such as an enlarged thyroid gland (known as goiter), benign or malignant tumors, hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone production), or hyperthyroidism (overproduction of thyroid hormone). Symptoms can vary widely but often include unexplained weight change, fatigue, mood alterations, intolerance to heat or cold, and abnormal heart rate. The development of these conditions can be influenced by factors such as iodine deficiency, autoimmune diseases, certain medications, or genetic predispositions. These thyroid disorders are typically diagnosed through blood tests and imaging studies.
