Neutrophilia ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Neutrophilia?

Accurate and standardized coding is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of Neutrophilia. The following are the commonly used ICD-10-CM codes to document this condition:

• D70.1 Chronic Neutrophilia: This code is used for chronic conditions where neutrophil count is consistently elevated.
• D72.819 Elevated White Blood Cell Count: This code can be used when there's a general increase in white blood cells, including neutrophils.
• D70.9 Neutropenia, unspecified: Although mainly for neutropenia, this code can sometimes be used in cases where the diagnosis is ambiguous.
• R74.0: Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH]: Elevated enzyme levels often accompany neutrophilia; this code can be used alongside others.
• D72.1: Eosinophilia: Although for eosinophilia, it's sometimes used when documenting other elevated granulocytes like neutrophils.

Clinical Information

• Neutrophilia refers to a high number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, often in response to infection or stress.
• It can be acute or chronic and usually needs further investigation to find the underlying cause.
• Common causes include bacterial infections, certain medications, or bone marrow disorders.
• Diagnosis generally requires blood tests and sometimes additional imaging or bone marrow tests.
• Treatment aims to address the underlying cause and may include antibiotics, antifungals, or other specific therapies.

Synonyms Include:

• Elevated neutrophils
• High neutrophil count
• Granulocytosis
• Neutrophilic leukocytosis
• Hyperneutrophilia
