Other sickle-cell disorders without crisis
ICD-10 D57.80 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other sickle-cell disorders without crisis.
D57.80 refers to other sickle-cell disorders that do not present with a crisis. Sickle-cell disorders are a group of inherited red blood cell disorders characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin S. These disorders can lead to chronic hemolytic anemia, where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be produced. Patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, pallor, and jaundice due to the anemia. Enzyme deficiencies, such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, can exacerbate hemolytic anemia in these patients. Thalassemias, another group of inherited blood disorders, may coexist with sickle-cell disease, complicating the clinical picture. Genetic factors play a significant role in the manifestation of these disorders, with various mutations leading to different clinical outcomes. It is crucial for healthcare providers to monitor these patients closely for complications, including infections and organ damage, even in the absence of a crisis.
Detailed patient history, lab results, and genetic testing documentation.
Management of chronic anemia, monitoring for complications, and treatment planning.
Ensure accurate differentiation between types of sickle-cell disorders and other hemolytic anemias.
Genetic testing results and family history of sickle-cell disorders.
Counseling patients on genetic risks and implications for family planning.
Documentation of genetic mutations and their clinical significance is crucial.
Used for routine monitoring of hemoglobin levels in patients with sickle-cell disorders.
Document the reason for the CBC and any relevant patient history.
Hematologists should ensure that the CBC results are interpreted in the context of the patient's sickle-cell disorder.
D57.80 is used for chronic sickle-cell disorders without crisis, while D57.01 is for sickle-cell disease with a crisis. Accurate documentation of the patient's condition is essential for proper coding.
