Dx

(1/1)

Yesica:

Hello,

How would you code Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia and ITP ? Is it the same Dx? Is there a difference between this two? Can someone explain the difference of this two?

Thanks,
Yesica.

Unless you are a coder, you shouldn't be coding.

Michele:
Since it is not clear you should ask the dr for clarification, or someone with ICD9 coding.  I came up with the following:

287.4 Secondary thrombocytopenia
Posttransfusion purpura
Thrombocytopenia (due to):
dilutional
drugs
extracorporeal circulation of blood
massive blood transfusion
