Treatment. None, immunosuppressants, platelet transfusion, surgical removal of the spleen [ 1] In hematology, thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets (also known as thrombocytes) in the blood. [ 2] Low levels of platelets in turn may lead to prolonged or excessive bleeding.
Thrombocythemia. In hematology, thrombocythemia is a condition of high platelet (thrombocyte) count in the blood. Normal count is in the range of 150 × 10 9 to 450 × 10 9 platelets per liter of blood, [1] but investigation is typically only considered if the upper limit exceeds 750 × 10 9 /L. When the cause is unknown, the term ...
289.7 Methemoglobinemia. 289.8 Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs. 289.81 Primary hypercoagulable state. 289.82 Secondary hypercoagulable state. 289.83 Myelofibrosis. 289.84 Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. 289.89 Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs.
Frequency. 0.6-2.5/100,000 cases per year. [ 2] In hematology, essential thrombocythemia ( ET) is a rare chronic blood cancer ( myeloproliferative neoplasm) characterised by the overproduction of platelets (thrombocytes) by megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. [ 3] It may, albeit rarely, develop into acute myeloid leukemia or myelofibrosis. [ 3]
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura ( ITP ), also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenia, is an autoimmune primary disorder of hemostasis characterized by a low platelet count in the absence of other causes. [1] [2] ITP often results in an increased risk of bleeding from mucosal ...
Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) or spurious thrombocytopenia is an in-vitro sampling problem which may mislead the diagnosis towards the more critical condition of thrombocytopenia. The phenomenon may occur when the anticoagulant used while testing the blood sample causes clumping of platelets which mimics a low platelet count. [ 1]
ICD-10 coding number Diseases Database coding number Medical Subject Headings plasma cell leukemia: C90.1: D007952 Plasma cell leukemia (PCL), a lymphoproliferative disorder, [78] is a rare cancer involving a subtype of white blood cells called plasma cells. [79] Acute erythraemia and erythroleukaemia: Acute erythremic myelosis: Acute erythroid ...
National adaptations of the ICD-10 progressed to incorporate both clinical code (ICD-10-CM) and procedure code (ICD-10-PCS) with the revisions completed in 2003. In 2009, the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that it would begin using ICD-10 on April 1, 2010, with full compliance by all involved parties by 2013. [19]
