Plasminogen Deficiency (PLGD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of plasminogen, a protein involved in blood clotting and wound healing. The ICD10 code for PLGD is E88.02, while the corresponding ICD9 code is 289.89. These codes are used for medical billing and coding purposes to accurately identify and classify the condition for healthcare providers and insurance companies.
Plasminogen Deficiency (PLGD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down blood clots. This condition is characterized by low levels or dysfunction of plasminogen, a protein that plays a crucial role in the body's fibrinolytic system. PLGD can lead to the formation of abnormal blood clots, which can block blood vessels and cause various health complications.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), the code for Plasminogen Deficiency is E88.02. This code falls under the section of "Metabolic disorders" (E70-E90) and specifically refers to "Other disorders of plasma-protein metabolism, not elsewhere classified." Plasminogen Deficiency is a specific disorder within this category.
On the other hand, in the older International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), the code for Plasminogen Deficiency is 289.89. This code is found in the section of "Other diseases of blood and blood-forming organs" (280-289) and is classified as "Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs."
It is important to note that these codes are used primarily for medical billing and statistical purposes. They help healthcare providers and insurance companies identify and categorize specific conditions for reimbursement and data analysis. However, it is always necessary to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options for Plasminogen Deficiency.
