Unit Code 8178: DNA Double-Stranded (ds-DNA) Antibodies, IgG, Serum. Mayo Clinic, Mayo Medical Laboratories [On-line information].
DNA (ds) Antibody - dsDNA Antibody is detected in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and approximately 20% of patients with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.
ICD-10 code R76. 8 for Other specified abnormal immunological findings in serum is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code: M32. 9 Systemic lupus erythematosus, unspecified.
89.
ICD-10 code D68. 61 for Antiphospholipid syndrome 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 .
Code D64. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Anemia, Unspecified, it falls under the category of diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism. Anemia specifically, is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is below normal.
What causes SLE? The causes of SLE are unknown, but are believed to be linked to environmental, genetic, and hormonal factors.
You also may want to use additional codes as appropriate, such as Z79. 01 (Long term (current) use of anticoagulants) if the patient is taking anticoagulants, Z51. 81 (Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring) if the agency is monitoring PT/INRs, and Z95.

Antiphospholipid (AN-te-fos-fo-LIP-id) syndrome is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly creates antibodies that attack tissues in the body. These antibodies can cause blood clots to form in arteries and veins. Blood clots can form in the legs, lungs and other organs, such as the kidneys and spleen.
1 The presence of anticardiolipin antibodies (especially those of moderate to high titer for IgG) is strongly associated with both arterial and venous thrombosis and recurrent pregnancy loss. 2-4 The IgM and IgA isotypes of anticardiolipin antibody have also been shown to be associated with venous thrombosis.

ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
9: Fever, unspecified.
053.9ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 053.9 : Herpes zoster without mention of complication.
Z93.0ICD-10 code Z93. 0 for Tracheostomy status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Anti-dsDNA specifically targets the genetic material (DNA) found in the nucleus of a cell, hence the name "anti-dsDNA.". The anti-dsDNA test identifies the presence of these autoantibodies in the blood. While anti-dsDNA may be present at a low level with a number of disorders, it is primarily associated with lupus.
The anti-dsDNA test may be ordered periodically to monitor progress of the disease or flare-ups in a person who has been diagnosed with lupus. It may be repeated when an initial test result is negative but clinical signs and symptoms persist and lupus is strongly suspected.
How is the test used? The anti-double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) test is used to help diagnose lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE) in a person who has a positive result on a test for antinuclear antibody (ANA) and has clinical signs and symptoms that suggest lupus. Typically, an ANA test is the first test performed to evaluate an individual ...
Only about 65-85% of those with lupus will have anti-dsDNA. Low to moderate levels of the autoantibody may be seen with other autoimmune disorders, such as Sjögren syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD).
The anti-Sm test may be ordered as part of an extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) panel. Depending upon clinical signs and the healthcare practitioner's suspicions, other autoantibodies may also be ordered to help distinguish between, and rule out, other autoimmune disorders.
The anti-dsDNA test is fairly specific for lupus; however, only 65-85% of people with lupus may be positive; that is, a negative anti-dsDNA does not rule out lupus. If a person has a positive ANA, an anti-dsDNA test may be used to distinguish lupus from other autoimmune disorders that have similar signs and symptoms.
While anti-dsDNA may be present at a low level with a number of disorders, it is primarily associated with lupus . Lupus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that can affect various tissues and/or organs of the body such as the kidneys, joints, blood vessels, skin, heart, lungs, and the brain.
Low antibody levels may be found in other connective tissue diseases.
In the past, it was considered unnecessary to test for anti-DNA in patients with a negative test for antinuclear antibodies. A group of “ANA-negative lupus” patients has been described with anti-ssDNA and anti-SS-A/Ro and anti-SS-B/La; however, HEp-2 substrate is much more sensitive than frozen section substrates, and it is uncommon for anti-SS-A/Ro to be negative with these newer substrates.
This standard dsDNA detects both low- and high-affinity antibodies, providing a very sensitive test for diagnostic purposes; however, it is less predictive for severe nephritis, which is associated with the presence of high-affinity antibodies.
Following levels of anti-DNA antibody may be of use in evaluating response to therapy, but should be regarded as a guide rather than a rigid dictator of treatment. Antibody levels correlate particularly well with activity of lupus nephritis.
DNA (ds) Antibody, High Avidity - In conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, the high avidity dsDNA FARRZYME can be used as an aid to the diagnosis of systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
