ICD10 code of Von Willebrand Disease and ICD9 code

Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by impaired blood clotting due to a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a protein involved in platelet adhesion and clot formation. There are different types of VWD, each with its own specific characteristics and severity.

In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), VWD is classified under the code D68.0. This code specifically denotes "Von Willebrand's disease," allowing healthcare professionals to accurately identify and document cases of VWD. It is important to note that the ICD-10 code for VWD may be further specified based on the specific type and severity of the disease.

In comparison, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) used a different coding system. The equivalent code for VWD in ICD-9 is 286.4, which represents "Von Willebrand's disease." Similar to the ICD-10 code, the ICD-9 code can also be further specified for different types and severities of the disease.

Both the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for VWD facilitate accurate coding, billing, and data collection for healthcare providers, researchers, and insurers. These codes play a crucial role in ensuring proper identification, treatment, and monitoring of patients with VWD, ultimately leading to improved healthcare outcomes.
