Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura
ICD-10 D69.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other nonthrombocytopenic purpura.
Other nonthrombocytopenic purpura refers to a group of bleeding disorders characterized by the presence of purpura (purple spots on the skin) that occur without a decrease in platelet count. This condition can arise from various underlying causes, including coagulation defects, vascular abnormalities, or immune-mediated mechanisms. Unlike thrombocytopenic purpura, where low platelet counts are the primary issue, nonthrombocytopenic purpura can be associated with conditions such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or other clotting factor deficiencies. Patients may present with symptoms such as easy bruising, spontaneous bleeding, or prolonged bleeding after injury. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical evaluation, laboratory tests to assess platelet function and coagulation pathways, and sometimes genetic testing. Management may include treating the underlying cause, administering clotting factor concentrates, or using medications to enhance platelet function. Understanding the nuances of this condition is crucial for accurate coding and appropriate patient management.
Detailed patient history, laboratory results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with unexplained bruising or bleeding, requiring evaluation for bleeding disorders.
Ensure all relevant coagulation studies are documented to support diagnosis.
Comprehensive patient history and physical examination findings.
Initial evaluation of patients with purpura or bleeding symptoms before referral to specialists.
Document any referrals to hematology or follow-up plans for ongoing management.
Used to evaluate patients presenting with purpura to assess platelet levels.
Document the reason for the CBC and any relevant findings.
Hematology specialists may require additional coagulation studies.
D69.2 refers to nonthrombocytopenic purpura, where platelet counts are normal, while D69.1 indicates thrombocytopenic purpura, characterized by low platelet counts.
