ICD10 code of Antiphospholipid / Hughes Syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Antiphospholipid / Hughes Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Antiphospholipid / Hughes Syndrome?
Antiphospholipid syndrome, also known as Hughes syndrome, is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in the blood. These antibodies target phospholipids, which are essential components of cell membranes, and can lead to the formation of blood clots in arteries and veins. The condition is associated with various clinical manifestations, including recurrent thrombosis (blood clot formation), pregnancy complications, and autoimmune disorders.
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides specific codes to classify diseases and medical conditions. The ICD-10 code for Antiphospholipid syndrome is D68.61. This code falls under the category of "Other primary thrombophilia," which encompasses various inherited and acquired conditions that predispose individuals to abnormal blood clotting.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) was the previous version of the coding system. The corresponding code for Antiphospholipid syndrome in ICD-9 is 289.81. This code is classified under "Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs" and denotes a similar condition to the ICD-10 code.
It is important to note that the ICD-10 code provides more specific and detailed classifications compared to the ICD-9 code. This transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 allows for improved accuracy in documenting and coding medical conditions, aiding in proper diagnosis, treatment, and research.
