Hematology In medicine ( hematology ), bleeding diathesis is an unusual susceptibility to bleed ( hemorrhage ) mostly due to hypocoagulability (a condition of irregular and slow blood clotting), in turn caused by a coagulopathy (a defect in the system of coagulation ).
50–100 per million (12-month risk) Immune thrombocytopenic purpura ( ITP ), also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenia , is an autoimmune primary disorder of hemostasis characterized by a low platelet count in the absence of other causes.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a blood disorder that results in blood clots forming in small blood vessels throughout the body. [2] This results in a low platelet count, low red blood cells due to their breakdown, and often kidney, heart, and brain dysfunction. [1]
Hematology Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia ( HIT ) is the development of thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), due to the administration of various forms of heparin , an anticoagulant . HIT predisposes to thrombosis (the abnormal formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel ).
CPT coding is similar to ICD-10-CM coding, except that it identifies the services rendered, rather than the diagnosis on the claim. Whilst the ICD-10-PCS codes also contains procedure codes, those are only used in the inpatient setting. [5]
