Symptomatic hemophilia A carrier
ICD-10 Z14.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of symptomatic hemophilia a carrier.
Z14.02 is used to classify individuals who are carriers of hemophilia A and exhibit symptoms related to the condition. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII, leading to prolonged bleeding. Carriers may experience symptoms such as easy bruising or prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgeries. Understanding the social determinants of health is crucial, as factors like access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, and education can influence the management of this condition. Preventive care includes regular screenings for bleeding disorders, genetic counseling, and education on managing symptoms. Screening for carriers often involves family history assessments and factor level testing. Aftercare may involve monitoring for complications and providing support for lifestyle adjustments to minimize bleeding risks.
