The causes of high platelet count or thrombocytosis can be classified as follows:
What you can do
What Does a High Mean Platelet Volume Indicate? According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, a high platelet count can indicate a number of different conditions, including cancer, anemia or a reaction to medications.
platelets normalise with time. platelets and CRP remain elevated (ferritin may be raised) if underlying reactive condition present (see list above) If platelets remain more than 500 x 10 9 /L but CRP and ferritin are normal, it is likely to be essential thrombocythaemia and request haematology assessment.
Thrombocythemia refers to a high platelet count that is not caused by another health condition. This condition is sometimes called primary or essential thrombocythemia. Thrombocytosis refers to a high platelet count caused by another disease or condition.
Other secondary thrombocytopenia D69. 59 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D69. 59 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Cancer: Lung, stomach, breast, and ovarian cancers, as well as lymphoma, can cause high platelet counts. Additional blood testing, imaging scans, or a biopsy can test for cancer. Anemia: People with iron deficiency or hemolytic anemia may have high platelets. Further blood testing can detect most forms of anemia.
ICD-10-CM Code for Thrombocytopenia, unspecified D69. 6.
The ITP Syndrome ITP is an autoimmune bleeding disorder caused by various etiologies, which is characterized by increased platelet destruction and impaired production, resulting in a decreased platelet count. Primary ITP is idiopathic, whereas secondary ITP is linked to an underlying condition (1).
Thrombocytosis (throm-boe-sie-TOE-sis) is a disorder in which your body produces too many platelets. It's called reactive thrombocytosis or secondary thrombocytosis when the cause is an underlying condition, such as an infection.
A high platelet count can cause blood clots to develop spontaneously. Normally, your blood begins to clot to prevent a massive loss of blood after an injury. In people with primary thrombocythemia, however, blood clots can form suddenly and for no apparent reason. Abnormal blood clotting can be dangerous.
The normal number of platelets is about 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter of blood. Having a platelet level greater than 450,000 is considered thrombocytosis. 1.
Your doctor might prescribe platelet-lowering drugs primarily in the form of hydroxyurea (Droxia, Hydrea) or interferon alfa (Intron A). Platelets can be removed from your blood by a procedure that's similar to dialysis.
9: Fever, unspecified.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
A chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm that involves primarily the megakaryocytic lineage. It is characterized by sustained thrombocytosis in the blood, increased numbers of large, mature megakaryocytes in the bone marrow, and episodes of thrombosis and/or hemorrhage. The cause is unknown.
R79.89 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry. The code R79.89 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Blood cells constantly die and your body makes new ones. Red blood cells live about 120 days, and platelets live about 6 days.
Thrombocytosis (or thrombocythemia) is the presence of high platelet counts in the blood, and can be either primary (also termed essential and caused by a myeloproliferative disease) or reactive (also termed secondary). Although often symptomless (particularly when it is a secondary reaction), it can predispose to thrombosis in some patients.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D47.3 and a single ICD9 code, 238.71 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
