Leukocytosis, unspecified
Leukocytosis is most commonly caused by infection or inflammation. Other high white blood cell count causes may include: Excessive physical or emotional stress (such as fever, injury or surgery). Burns. Immune system disorders such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Leukocytosis is a medical term used to describe an elevation in the number of white blood cells in the body and may have a variety of causes, including infection, inflammation, and allergic responses. Additional causes of leukocytosis may include stress, sickle cell anemia, and the use of certain medications.

Leukocytosis, or high white blood cell count, can indicate a range of conditions, including infections, inflammation, injury and immune system disorders. A complete blood count (CBC) is usually performed to check for leukocytosis. Treating the underlying condition usually reduces your white blood cell count.

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.

What causes leukopenia?Blood cell or bone marrow conditions. WBCs originate from the stem cells in the bone marrow. ... Treatments for cancer. ... Congenital disorders. ... Infectious diseases. ... Autoimmune disorders. ... Malnutrition. ... Medications. ... Sarcoidosis.
A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) is a decrease in disease-fighting cells (leukocytes) in your blood. Leukopenia is almost always related to a decrease in a certain type of white blood cell (neutrophil). The definition of low white blood cell count varies from one medical practice to another.
Leukocytosis is an elevation in the absolute WBC count (>10,000 cells/μL). Leukopenia is a reduction in the WBC count (<3500 cells/μL).
Leukocytosis in which neutrophils are elevated is neutrophilia; leukocytosis in which lymphocyte count is elevated is lymphocytosis; leukocytosis in which monocyte count is elevated is monocytosis; and leukocytosis in which eosinophil count is elevated is eosinophilia.
White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They protect you against illness and disease....Among your white blood cells are:Monocytes. ... Lymphocytes. ... Neutrophils. ... Basophils. ... Eosinophils.
Leukocytosis, a common laboratory finding, is most often due to relatively benign conditions (infections or inflammatory processes). Much less common but more serious causes include primary bone marrow disorders.
Each form of leukocytosis is linked with several health conditions: neutrophilia: inflammation and infections. lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections. monocytosis: cancer and other types of infections.
Your WBCs may return to normal without treatment. Your healthcare provider will treat the cause of your leukocytosis.
A high white blood cell count may indicate that the immune system is working to destroy an infection. It may also be a sign of physical or emotional stress. People with particular blood cancers may also have high white blood cells counts.
829 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of elevated white blood cell count, unspecified.
The ICD diagnosis code for bandemia is 288.66. It is a signifier of infection (or sepsis) or inflammation.
Leukocytosis is white 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 as well as leukemia.
D72.829 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of elevated white blood cell count, unspecified. The code D72.829 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code D72.829 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like increased blood leukocyte number, leukocytosis, post-splenectomy disorder or post-splenectomy leukocytosis.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like D72.829 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
