ICD10 code of Splenomegaly and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Splenomegaly? And the ICD9 code for Splenomegaly?
ICD10 code: R16.1
ICD9 code: 789.2
Splenomegaly is a medical condition characterized by an enlarged spleen, which is the organ responsible for filtering blood and producing immune cells. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for this condition. The ICD-10 code for splenomegaly is R16.0.
In the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, splenomegaly was also assigned a unique code. The ICD-9 code for splenomegaly is 789.2. However, it is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, so healthcare providers now primarily use the ICD-10 coding system.
Splenomegaly can be caused by various underlying conditions, such as liver disease, infections (such as mononucleosis or malaria), blood disorders (such as leukemia or lymphoma), or certain autoimmune diseases. It can present with symptoms like abdominal pain, easy bruising, fatigue, and anemia. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, blood tests, imaging studies (such as ultrasound or CT scan), and sometimes a biopsy.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the appropriate ICD-10 code, R16.0, would be used to accurately document the presence of splenomegaly in medical records. This coding system is crucial for efficient communication among healthcare professionals, insurance companies, and researchers, allowing for accurate documentation and tracking of various medical conditions.
