Leukopenia ICD-10-CM Codes

A leukopenia ICD code should be used when a patient is diagnosed with a low white blood cell count, confirmed through diagnostic testing like a complete blood count (CBC). These codes help healthcare providers accurately document and bill for conditions involving decreased leukocytes or other blood cell abnormalities.

Treatment for leukopenia typically depends on the underlying cause and may include managing infections, adjusting medications, or administering white blood cell growth factors. In severe cases, treatments like white blood cell transfusions or bone marrow support therapies may be recommended.

A diagnosis code for leukopenia indicates that the patient has a medically confirmed low white blood cell count, which may compromise immune function and increase infection risk. The code helps classify the specific type or cause of leukopenia, guiding appropriate care and treatment plans.
