ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria, with classification details for clinicians, coders and patients.
Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare autoimmune hemolytic anemia primarily affecting children and young adults. It is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, leading to hemoglobinuria (the presence of hemoglobin in urine) and subsequent anemia. PCH is triggered by cold exposure, which causes the immune system to attack red blood cells, resulting in their destruction.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria is assigned the code D59.6. This code falls under the broader category of "Hemolytic anemias," which includes various forms of anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells. The specific code D59.6 indicates Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria as the cause of the anemia.
In the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria was assigned the code 283.2. This code, similar to ICD-10, falls under the category of hemolytic anemias and specifies Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria as the cause.
It is important to note that the ICD codes mentioned here are for informational purposes only and should not be used for self-diagnosis or treatment. If you suspect you or someone you know may have Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
