ICD-10 code D72. 829 for Elevated white blood cell count, unspecified 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 .
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.
Disorder of white blood cells, unspecifiedICD-10 code: D72. 9 Disorder of white blood cells, unspecified.
Most changes in the white blood cell count are reactive and due to an increase or decrease of cells of the myeloid series. By definition, a leukocytosis is present if leukocytes are increased to more than 10,000/μL; in leukopenia leukocytes are below 4000/μL.
Leukocytosis is an elevation in the absolute WBC count (>10,000 cells/μL). Leukopenia is a reduction in the WBC count (<3500 cells/μL).
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.

Leukocytosis is frequently found in the early postoperative period after major surgery. Although leukocytosis may be a sign of developing infection in the early postoperative period, it may also be part of a normal surgical response.
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.
Circulating PML and less mature forms (e.g., band cells and metamyelocytes) move to a site of injury or infection. This is followed by the release of stored leukocytes, commonly referred to as a “left shift.” Inflammation-associated leukocytosis occurs in tissue necrosis, infarction, burns and arthritis.
