O99.2: Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium
You have a disease affecting certain messenger substances, your diet or metabolism.
The body produces energy from food. Furthermore, the body makes construction material from food, for instance to repair or construct tissue. This is also called metabolism. The metabolism is influenced by various messenger substances.
Your disease makes your pregnancy, the birth or childbed more difficult. You may also already have had this kind of disease before your pregnancy. The disease can then also have got worse as a result of your pregnancy, the birth or childbed.
