E65-E68: Obesity and other hyperalimentation
E67: Other hyperalimentation
Other hyperalimentation, classified under the ICD-10 code range E67, includes conditions connected to excessive nutrition. It generally results from consuming nutrients in excess quantities, which can lead to the build-up of certain substances in the body and may harm various body systems, including the digestive and cardiovascular systems. These disorders may also be caused by certain medical treatments, such as parenteral nutrition, where the nutrients are given directly into the bloodstream. Symptoms are not specific and can vary from person to person, but they typically include weight gain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and bloating. The condition generally progresses slowly over time if the cause is not addressed. In severe cases, it might lead to life-threatening complications like heart disease. The key to managing these conditions is to achieve a balance in nutrient intake. Examination and diagnostics can ascertain the exact cause and aid in managing the condition effectively.
