ICD-10 Code E71.318 | Other disorders of fatty-acid oxidation Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include hypoglycemia, muscle weakness, fatigue, and cardiomyopathy. Patients may experience these symptoms during fasting or illness, necessitating prompt medical evaluation.

Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, metabolic testing, and genetic testing to identify enzyme deficiencies. Laboratory findings such as elevated fatty acids can support the diagnosis.

Treatment focuses on managing metabolic crises with glucose supplementation, dietary modifications to prevent fasting, and regular monitoring of metabolic status to avoid complications.

Hospitalization may be necessary during acute metabolic crises to provide intravenous fluids and glucose, ensuring patient safety and stabilization.
