What is lymphocytosis icd-10?

Lymphocytosis is a medical condition involving an increase in the number of lymphocytes in the bloodstream. This condition is often a sign of an underlying infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorder, or cancer.

The ICD-10 code for lymphocytosis is D72.9. This code falls under the section of the classification system for diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs.

There are several subtypes of lymphocytosis, each with a specific ICD-10 code. For example, T-cell lymphocytosis is coded as D72.1, while B-cell lymphocytosis is coded as D72.2.

In general, the treatment for lymphocytosis involves treating the underlying cause. This may involve antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory medications, chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs, or other treatments depending on the specific condition.

It is important to monitor lymphocytosis and seek medical attention if symptoms become severe or worsen over time, as it can potentially develop into a more serious condition.
