This video cover diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs. This section includes codes D50- D89 in the ICD-10 codebook.
Chapter 3 is a short chapter which is utilized to code diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and particular conditions of the immune system. This consists of illness of:
The erythrocytes (red cell) – for example, anemia.
The leukocytes (leukocyte) – for instance, granulocytosis.
The blood clot system and thrombocytes (platelets) – for instance, hemophilia.
Specific aspects of the body immune system – for example, sarcoidosis.
Anemia.
Anemia refers to either a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin or a decrease in the volume of packed red cells.
A condition that occurs whenever the balance between red cell loss and red cell production is disrupted.
A reduction in production can result from a variety of causes:.
aging.
bleeding.
cell damage.
The use of accurate terms is important in classifying anemias. When a diagnostic declaration of anemia is not further specified in any way, the coder should evaluate the medical record to identify whether more information can be situated.
Information can be discovered in:.
lab outcomes.
pathology reports.
The most typical anemias are iron shortage, vitamin B12 shortage, and folic acid shortage.
Deficiency Anemias.
iron deficiency anemia — this is the most typical type of anemia and is brought on by an absence of iron in the blood. Iron is required for the production of hemoglobin. This kind of anemia is most commonly connected with persistent blood loss but might be due to other aspects.
pernicious anemia — occurs when the body’s inability to absorb vitamin B12 through an intrinsic factor in the gastrointestinal system suffers. The absence of vitamin B12 triggers big erythrocytes (red cell) as they do not divide normally. The plus size hinders the ability of the erythrocyte (red cell) to leave the bone marrow and function properly.
Anemia Due to Severe Blood Loss D62
Severe blood loss anemia arises from an unexpected, significant loss of blood over a short period of time. It might take place due to:.
Trauma, such as laceration.
A rupture of the spleen or another injury of abdominal viscera, where no external blood loss is kept in mind.
Acute blood loss anemia may take place following surgical treatment, however it is not necessarily a problem of the procedure as lots of surgeries, such as hip replacement, routinely involve a significant amount of bleeding as an anticipated part of the operation.
A complication of a surgical treatment or acute blood-loss anemia ought to not be coded unless the physician recognizes it.
If a postoperative blood count is low enough to suggest anemia, it is proper to ask the physician whether a medical diagnosis of anemia must be added.
Remember, blood replacement is often carried out as a preventative procedure and does not show that anemia exists.
Examples.
D649 Anemia, undefined – Default code when postoperative anemia is recorded without spec of intense blood loss.
D62 Intense posthemorrhagic anemia – When postoperative anemia is because of intense blood loss.
D500 Iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (persistent) – When neither the diagnostic declaration nor evaluation of the medical record shows whether a blood-loss anemia is intense or chronic.
Anemia of Chronic Illness D63
Patients with chronic illnesses are often seen with anemia, which might be the cause of the healthcare admission or encounter. Treatment is typically directed at the anemia, not the underlying condition.
Codes for this type of anemia are categorized as follows:.
Anemia in Persistent Kidney Illness:.
code initially the underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD) N18-.
4th character shows the phase of CKD.
D631 anemia of CKD.
Anemia in neoplastic illness:.
Code first the neoplasm responsible for the anemia (C00- D49).
D630 anemia in, due to, or with the malignancy (not due to the antineoplastic chemotherapy drugs, which is an unfavorable result).
Anemia of other chronic illness:.
Code first the underlying persistent disease.
D638 anemia in other chronic diseases.
Sickle-Cell Anemia D57
Sickle-cell illness is a hereditary illness of the red blood cells, the disease is passed to a child when both moms and dads carry the hereditary characteristic. When a medical record includes both the terms “sickle-cell trait” and “sickle-cell disease,” only the code for the sickle-cell disease is appointed.
