Disease of blood and blood-forming organs, unspecified
ICD-10 D75.9 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of disease of blood and blood-forming organs, unspecified.
D75.9 refers to diseases affecting the blood and blood-forming organs that are not specified in detail. This code encompasses a variety of conditions, including neutropenia, which is characterized by an abnormally low level of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell essential for fighting infections. White blood cell disorders can manifest as leukopenia or leukocytosis, affecting the body's immune response. Disorders of the spleen, such as splenomegaly or hypersplenism, can also lead to blood disorders by affecting blood cell production and destruction. Immunodeficiencies, whether primary or secondary, can result in increased susceptibility to infections and may be associated with various hematological abnormalities. The unspecified nature of D75.9 means that further clinical details are necessary to determine the exact underlying pathology, which can complicate diagnosis and treatment.
Detailed lab results, patient history, and treatment plans must be documented.
Patients presenting with unexplained anemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia.
Ensure that all relevant lab tests are included in the documentation to support the diagnosis.
Documentation of immunodeficiency testing and patient history of infections.
Patients with recurrent infections or unexplained blood disorders.
Document any prior immunological assessments to clarify the diagnosis.
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.
D75.9 should be used when a patient presents with a disease of the blood or blood-forming organs that is not specified. Ensure that all relevant clinical information is documented to support this code.
