ICD-10-CM E60: Dietary Zinc Deficiency Overview
The diagnoses in this group represent zinc deficiency resulting from inadequate dietary intake and related nutritional causes, affecting metabolic and integumentary systems among others. These conditions target biochemical and clinical manifestations of low zinc status such as impaired growth, dermatitis, immune dysfunction, and delayed wound healing. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it documents the nutritional etiology of symptoms and supports medically necessary nutrition-related services and interventions.
