What is Thrombocytopenia ICD 10?

Thrombocytopenia ICD 10 (D69.6) or Low Platelet ICD 10 refers to a condition characterized by a low platelet count. Platelets, or the thrombocytes, are basically the colorless blood cells that play a very critical role in blood clotting by sticking together to stop bleeding after cuts or injuries. A low platelet count ICD 10 or Decreased Platelets ICD 10 can impair the blood's ability to clot, which leads to excessive bleeding and other complications.

Why is Immune Thrombocytopenia Happening?

Thrombocytopenia ICD 10 (Code: D69.6) or Decreased Platelets ICD 10 can result from a variety of causes, including:

• Medical Conditions:

  Diseases like leukemia, immune system disorders, or bone marrow problems can reduce platelet production.

• Medications:

  Certain drugs, including chemotherapy medications, can decrease platelet counts.

• Infections:

  Viral infections like hepatitis or HIV can lower platelet levels.

• Genetic Disorders:

  Conditions such as Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome or certain anemias can affect platelet count.

Treatment Options for Immune Thrombocytopenia ICD 10

• Medications

  -

  Corticosteroids:

  Steroids like prednisone help increase platelet counts by reducing immune system activity that destroys platelets.

• Procedures

  -

  Blood or Platelet Transfusions:

  To increase platelet levels in severe cases.

• Procedures - Surgery:

  Removal of the spleen (splenectomy) in cases where the spleen is destroying platelets.

Diagnostics for Immune Thrombocytopenia ICD 10

• Complete Blood Count (CBC):

  Measures platelet levels and other blood cell counts. The average platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

• Blood Smear:

  A microscopic examination of blood to assess platelet shape and size.

• Bone Marrow Tests:

  Evaluate bone marrow health to determine if it's producing enough platelets.

Symptoms for Low Platelets ICD 10

• Unusual or excessive bleeding from the teeth gums, nose, or in urine and stools.
• Easy bruising and appearance of red, flat spots on the skin (petechiae).
• Feeling unusually tired due to chronic bleeding.
• Swelling of the spleen may cause pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen.
