ICD-10 code D69. 3 for Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism .
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a blood disorder characterized by a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells in the blood that help stop bleeding. A decrease in platelets can cause easy bruising, bleeding gums, and internal bleeding.
Though the abbreviation “ITP” remains the same, it now refers to immune thrombocytopenia, which can be either primary or secondary. ITP is defined as a platelet count of less than 100 × 109/L (100,000/μL) with no evidence of leukopenia or anemia.
What is the difference between ITP and haemophilia? ITP can be confused with haemophilia, a genetic disorder where the blood doesn't clot properly. ITP patients have reduced platelets. The rest of the clotting mechanism works normally.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of blood cells called platelets, a situation which is referred to as thrombocytopenia.
Overview. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets — the cells that help blood clot.
ITP is caused by an immune reaction against your own platelets. This means that your body's immune system attacks your platelets by mistake. ITP is a fairly common blood disorder that both children and adults can develop.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes you to have low platelet levels. Platelets are cell fragments that are found in the blood and normally help the blood to clot. In people with ITP, the body produces antibodies that attack and destroy the platelets.
Hemophilia is suspected in patients with recurrent bleeding, unexplained hemarthroses, or a prolongation of the PTT. If hemophilia is suspected, PTT, PT, platelet count, and factor VIII and IX assays are obtained. In hemophilia, the PTT is prolonged, but the PT and platelet count are normal.
Five patients with severe hemophilia A receiving long-term treatment with commercial factor VIII concentrates developed severe immune thrombocytopenia (ITP, platelet counts less than 20 X 10(9)/l).
A recent study reports the incidence of adult ITP, or how many people are diagnosed each year, is 3.3 per 100,000 adults per year. The prevalence of ITP in adults—those who have ITP at any time—is approximately 9.5 cases per 100,000.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D69.3 and a single ICD9 code, 287.39 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Both of these events may occur simultaneously or one may follow on from the other. Specialty: Hematology. ICD 9 Code: 287.32.
