Hypereosinophilic Syndrome is a disorder characterized by excessive eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood and tissues. The ICD-10 code for this condition is D72.1. Unfortunately, ICD-9 codes are no longer used as of October 1, 2015, and have been replaced by ICD-10 codes. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding.
Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) is a rare disorder characterized by excessive levels of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in the blood and tissues. These elevated eosinophil levels can lead to damage and inflammation in various organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, and skin.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), the code for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome is D72.1. This code falls under the category of "Other specified disorders of white blood cells" and specifically refers to disorders characterized by persistent eosinophilia, excluding certain specific conditions.
In the previous version, the ICD-9-CM (Clinical Modification), the code for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome was 288.3. This code was classified under the "Other specified disorders of white blood cells" category as well.
It is important to note that the ICD-10 code provides more specificity and detail compared to the ICD-9 code, allowing for better classification and understanding of the condition. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 has enabled healthcare professionals to have a more comprehensive coding system to accurately document and track Hypereosinophilic Syndrome cases.
