Leukocytosis D72.829 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D72.829. Elevated white blood cell count, unspecified 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Billable/Specific Code. Applicable To Elevated leukocytes, unspecified. Leukocytosis, unspecified.
Differentiating Steroid induced Leukocytosis with Infection. During infection, unsegmented or band neutrophils are released from the bone marrow resulting in: Shift to the left in the peripheral white blood cells, i.e., more than 6 percent band forms. Appearance of toxic granulation.
Also, by unknown mechanism steroid inhibit apoptosis of leukocytes, prolonging their survival period. 3. Release of non-segmented (band) neutrophils from bone marrow (10% of the rise)
Leukocytosis is white blood cells (the leukocyte count) above the normal range in the blood. It is frequently a sign of an inflammatory response, most commonly the result of infection, but may also occur following certain parasitic infections or bone tumors.

Most of the time, doctors use a complete blood count (CBC) to check for leukocytosis. A CBC can be part of a routine physical, or your doctor might use it to help diagnose a specific illness. Another test, called a white blood cell differential or "diff," is sometimes done at the same time.
ICD-10 code R73. 9 for Hyperglycemia, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Systemic steroids are synthetic derivatives of the natural steroid, cortisol, produced by the adrenal glands, and have profound anti-inflammatory effects. Systemic (cortico)steroids are also called glucocorticoids or cortisones. They include: Prednisone.
Prednisone is a corticosteroid (cortisone-like medicine or steroid). It works on the immune system to help relieve swelling, redness, itching, and allergic reactions. This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

2. Leukocytosis is first noted a few hours of administration and reaches maximal intensity within 2 weeks of continued treatment after which the white cells decrease but not to the pre-treatment level.
There are 3 major mechanisms responsible for corticosteroid induced granulocytosis: 1. Demargination of neutrophils from endothelial cells (60% of the rise): Recall the leukocyte adhesion cascade in the chapter of inflammation. L-selectins are present in leukocytes that mediates their rolling on the endothelial lining of the vessels.
Steroids down-regulate all these molecule, and the leukocytes are bound to stay in the circulation.
4. Although the degree of leukocytosis may be related to the dosage administered, it may appear sooner with higher doses.
Leukocytosis is white blood cells (the leukocyte count) above the normal range in the blood. It is frequently a sign of an inflammatory response, most commonly the result of infection, but may also occur following certain parasitic infections or bone tumors. It may also occur after strenuous exercise, convulsions such as epilepsy, emotional stress, ...

With surgical procedures, the coding guidelines address ‘inherency’ and require the documentation of the surgeon to designate something as a complication or inherent to procedure. Coding guidelines also direct the coder to query if the documentation is vague. Should the same criteria apply when it comes to known side effects of medication, where the desired effect may also include known side effects, but the benefit supersedes the harm? Should we require the physician to deem an ‘adverse drug effect’ as a known side effect when most occasions, it is common occurrence? Should we ask the physician to ‘exclude’ the linking verbiage? Should they enter ‘as expected’ or should they simply avoid addressing these issues?
Coding guidelines specify that to justify a coding a complication, it must be clinically evaluated, diagnostically tested, and therapeutically treated; the complication must also result in an extended length of stay in the hospital necessitating increased resources related to care. The condition should not be part of routine care or the routine outcome of an expected procedure. When it comes to surgery, coders should clarify that there was a complication prior to assigning a complication code. The physician must agree and must document that the condition is a complication.
The same issue is true of addressing ‘leukocytosis’ likely due to steroids while acknowledging that another disease process is going on that may not be infectious. It is through further assessment and lab testing that differential diagnoses may be ruled out.
