Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs
ICD-10 D75.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs.
D75.8 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, leading to increased susceptibility to infections. White blood cell disorders, including leukopenia and leukocytosis, can also be classified here, reflecting abnormalities in white blood cell counts that may indicate underlying pathologies. Spleen disorders, such as splenomegaly or hypersplenism, can affect blood cell production and destruction, contributing to various hematological conditions. Additionally, immunodeficiencies, whether primary or secondary, can lead to a compromised immune response, further complicating the clinical picture. Accurate coding of D75.8 requires a thorough understanding of the patient's clinical history and the specific nature of their blood disorders, as these can significantly impact treatment and management strategies.
Detailed lab results, patient history, and treatment plans must be documented.
Patients presenting with unexplained anemia, recurrent infections, or abnormal blood counts.
Ensure that all relevant laboratory tests and their interpretations are included in the documentation.
Comprehensive immunological assessments and patient history regarding infections.
Patients with recurrent infections or known immunodeficiencies.
Document any prior treatments and responses to ensure accurate coding.
Used to evaluate blood disorders, including those classified under D75.8.
Document the reason for the CBC and any relevant clinical findings.
Hematologists may require additional tests based on CBC results.
D75.8 includes various unspecified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs, such as neutropenia, white blood cell disorders, and certain spleen disorders.
Accurate coding requires thorough documentation of the patient's clinical history, laboratory results, and any treatments provided. Always check for more specific codes that may apply.
