icd 10 code for warm antibody hemolytic anemia

What is warm haemolytic Anaemia?

Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (WAHA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the premature destruction of healthy red blood cells (hemolysis). Autoimmune diseases occur when one's own immune system attacks healthy tissue.

What is warm antibody type?

AIHA caused by warm autoantibodies (w-AIHA), ie, antibodies that react with their antigens on the red blood cell optimally at 37°C, is the most common type, comprising ∼70% to 80% of all adult cases and ∼50% of pediatric cases.

How do you code hemolytic anemia?

A: ICD-10-CM code category D59. - (acquired hemolytic anemia) includes codes for hemolytic anemia from acquired conditions that result in the premature destruction of red blood cells, as opposed to hereditary disorders causing anemia.

What is warm and cold hemolytic anemia?

Warm antibody hemolytic anemia can often be differentiated from cold agglutinin disease by the temperature at which the direct antiglobulin test is positive; a test that is positive at temperatures ≥ 37° C indicates warm antibody hemolytic anemia, whereas a test that is positive at lower temperatures indicates cold ...

What is difference between warm and cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia?

Warm antibody hemolytic anemia can often be differentiated from cold agglutinin disease by the temperature at which the direct antiglobulin test is positive; a test that is positive at temperatures ≥ 37° C indicates warm antibody hemolytic anemia, whereas a test that is positive at lower temperatures indicates cold ...

Are warm antibodies clinically significant?

Warm autoantibodies are antibodies that react with intrinsic antigens on autologous RBCs at body temperature. Therefore, they are considered clinically significant, but the relationship between detection and pathologic effect is not well defined.

What is AIHA in medical terms?

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare immune disorder. It happens when your body mistakes red blood cells as foreign substances and attacks them.

What are warm and cold antibodies?

Any red cell antibody that binds its target antigen best at levels below body temperature (37 C) is commonly referred to as a “cold antibody” (this, of course, contrasts to “warm” antibodies that react best at or near body temperature).

Is IgM cold or warm?

Cold agglutinins — Cold agglutinins are autoantibodies directed against RBC antigens. They have the following properties: Isotype – The vast majority of cold agglutinins are IgM [8].

What causes warm hemolytic anemia?

Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is caused by increased erythrocyte destruction by immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies, with or without complement activation. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity by macrophages/activated lymphocytes occurs in the lymphoid organs and spleen (extravascular hemolysis).

The ICD code D591 is used to code Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (WAIHA) is the most common of the autoimmune hemolytic diseases. About half of the cases are idiopathic, with the other half attributable to a predisposing condition or medications being taken. Contrary to cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia (e.g.
