Looking for the correct ICD-10 code for elevated troponin ...
Troponins are actually proteins released when there is damage to muscle, so not R74.8. It surprises me how many providers actually code elevated troponin as R74.8.I've never had an authoritative answer to this question, but my understanding has been that troponin is a cardiac enzyme, so I would code it as R74.8 - abnormal levels of other serum enzymes.
