Immunodeficiency associated with other specified major defects
ICD-10 D82.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of immunodeficiency associated with other specified major defects.
D82.8 refers to immunodeficiency disorders that are associated with other specified major defects in the immune system. These conditions can arise from genetic mutations or environmental factors that compromise the immune response, leading to increased susceptibility to infections and other complications. Patients may present with recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, or hematologic abnormalities. The immunodeficiency may be secondary to other underlying conditions, such as hematologic malignancies or congenital defects affecting blood and blood-forming organs. Accurate diagnosis often requires a thorough clinical evaluation, including laboratory tests to assess immune function and identify specific defects. Management may involve immunoglobulin replacement therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, or treatment of the underlying condition. Understanding the nuances of this code is crucial for proper documentation and coding, as it encompasses a range of disorders that may not be immediately apparent.
Detailed immunological assessments, including laboratory results and clinical history.
Patients with recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, or unexplained hematologic abnormalities.
Ensure that all relevant tests and specialist consultations are documented to support the diagnosis.
Complete blood counts, bone marrow biopsies, and genetic testing results.
Patients with hematologic malignancies presenting with immunodeficiency symptoms.
Document any hematologic conditions that may contribute to the immunodeficiency.
Used for laboratory tests to assess immune function.
Document the reason for blood collection and any relevant clinical history.
Ensure that the specialty performing the test is noted.
D82.8 includes various immunodeficiencies associated with other specified major defects, such as genetic mutations affecting immune function, hematologic malignancies, and autoimmune disorders.
