Treating a patient who is immunocompromised poses more risks and challenges; therefore, it is important to identify a patient with this status. Code D84. 821, Immunodeficiency due to drugs, was created for immunodeficiency due to medications that interfere with the immune system.
ICD-10 code D84. 81 for Immunodeficiency due to conditions classified elsewhere 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 .
Immunodeficiency disorders may affect any part of the immune system. Most often, these conditions occur when special white blood cells called T or B lymphocytes (or both) do not function normally or your body does not produce enough antibodies.
ICD-10 code Z94. 0 for Kidney transplant status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
People with immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease are considered immunocompromised, but other factors can also cause someone to be immunocompromised, such as cancer, cancer treatments, metabolic disorders or advanced age, according to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The term “immunocompromised” is actually quite broad and relatively poorly defined. But generally speaking, it means someone's immune system isn't working as well as it should be to protect them against infections.
There are two types of immunodeficiency disorders: those you are born with (primary), and those that are acquired (secondary). Anything that weakens your immune system can lead to a secondary immunodeficiency disorder.
Examples of persons with weakened immune systems include those with HIV/AIDS; cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppressive drugs; and those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system (e.g., congenital agammaglobulinemia, congenital IgA deficiency).
B-cell (antibody-deficiency) disorders are the most common type of immunodeficiencies, accounting for approximately 50% of all PID diagnoses [5].
Z99. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
21 and E11. 22 have an excludes 1 notes therefore they can be coded together as long as a separate renal manifestation is present, I would just be careful when coding the actual renal condition as there are some renal codes that are excluded when using CKD codes.
ICD-10 code M32. 9 for Systemic lupus erythematosus, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue .
