Abnormal immunological findings in specimens from male genital organs
ICD-10 R86.4 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal immunological findings in specimens from male genital organs.
R86.4 is used to classify abnormal immunological findings in specimens obtained from male genital organs, which may include abnormal results from tests such as semen analysis, biopsies, or other immunological assays. These findings can indicate various underlying conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancies. Symptoms may vary widely, including infertility, pain, or abnormal discharge. The abnormal findings may reflect issues such as elevated levels of specific antibodies, abnormal immune cell counts, or the presence of inflammatory markers. Accurate interpretation of these findings is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning, as they can guide further investigations and management strategies.
Detailed patient history, including symptoms and previous medical conditions, must be documented to support the diagnosis.
Patients presenting with infertility or unexplained genital symptoms may undergo immunological testing.
Consideration of autoimmune disorders and their impact on male reproductive health is essential.
Acute care documentation must include immediate symptoms and any relevant lab findings.
Patients may present with acute scrotal pain or swelling, necessitating rapid immunological assessment.
Emergency settings may require expedited testing and documentation to ensure timely diagnosis.
Used when testing for specific antibodies related to male infertility.
Document the specific antibodies tested and the clinical rationale for testing.
Urologists may frequently order these tests in the context of infertility evaluations.
R86.4 is associated with various immunological tests, including semen analysis for anti-sperm antibodies, biopsies for immune cell profiling, and other assays that assess immune function in the male genital tract.
