Other and unspecified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs
Chapter 3:Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs
ICD-10 D75 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other and unspecified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs.
D75 encompasses a variety of conditions affecting the blood and blood-forming organs that do not fall under more specific categories. This includes disorders such as neutropenia, which is characterized by an abnormally low level of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell essential for fighting infections. Neutropenia can arise from various causes, including bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications. Additionally, this code covers other white blood cell disorders, which may involve abnormalities in the production or function of leukocytes, leading to increased susceptibility to infections or hematological malignancies. Spleen disorders, such as splenomegaly or hyposplenism, can also be included, as they impact the body's ability to filter blood and produce immune responses. Immunodeficiencies, whether primary (genetic) or secondary (acquired), are also relevant, as they compromise the immune system's ability to respond to pathogens. Accurate coding for D75 requires a thorough understanding of the underlying conditions and their implications for patient management.
Detailed lab results, patient history, and treatment plans must be documented.
Patients presenting with unexplained anemia, leukopenia, or splenic disorders.
Ensure that all relevant lab tests and their interpretations are included in the documentation.
Comprehensive immunological assessments and patient history of infections.
Patients with recurrent infections or known immunodeficiencies.
Document the specific type of immunodeficiency and any related treatments.
Used to evaluate blood disorders including neutropenia.
Document the reason for the CBC and any relevant clinical findings.
Hematologists may require additional tests based on CBC results.
D75 includes various unspecified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs, such as neutropenia, white blood cell disorders, spleen disorders, and immunodeficiencies.
D75 should be used when the specific condition affecting the blood or blood-forming organs is not classified elsewhere and when there is insufficient information to assign a more specific code.
