What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Neutrophilia?
Accurate and standardized coding is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of Neutrophilia. The following are the commonly used ICD-10-CM codes to document this condition:
- D70.1 Chronic Neutrophilia: This code is used for chronic conditions where neutrophil count is consistently elevated.
- D72.819 Elevated White Blood Cell Count: This code can be used when there's a general increase in white blood cells, including neutrophils.
- D70.9 Neutropenia, unspecified: Although mainly for neutropenia, this code can sometimes be used in cases where the diagnosis is ambiguous.
- R74.0: Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH]: Elevated enzyme levels often accompany neutrophilia; this code can be used alongside others.
- D72.1: Eosinophilia: Although for eosinophilia, it's sometimes used when documenting other elevated granulocytes like neutrophils.

Clinical Information
- Neutrophilia refers to a high number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, often in response to infection or stress.
- It can be acute or chronic and usually needs further investigation to find the underlying cause.
- Common causes include bacterial infections, certain medications, or bone marrow disorders.
- Diagnosis generally requires blood tests and sometimes additional imaging or bone marrow tests.
- Treatment aims to address the underlying cause and may include antibiotics, antifungals, or other specific therapies.
Synonyms Include:
- Elevated neutrophils
- High neutrophil count
- Granulocytosis
- Neutrophilic leukocytosis
- Hyperneutrophilia

Commonly asked questions
ICD codes for neutrophilia are used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical billing, facilitating a standardized approach to this condition.
Treatment generally targets the underlying cause, ranging from bacterial infections to malignancies, and may involve medications or more aggressive therapies.
It's a standardized code that classifies a specific type of neutrophilia essential for medical billing, research, and patient care.
