Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the P60 range.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
Purpura Fulminans
A severe, rapidly fatal reaction occurring most commonly in children following an infectious illness. It is characterized by large, rapidly spreading skin hemorrhages, fever, or shock. Purpura fulminans often accompanies or is triggered by DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION.
Waterhouse-Friderichsen Syndrome
A condition of HEMORRHAGE and NECROSIS of the ADRENAL GLAND. It is characterized by rapidly developing ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY; HYPOTENSION; and widespread cutaneous PURPURA.
About the P60 Code Range
ICD-10 code P60 is used to classify disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) of the newborn, a serious blood clotting condition unique to newborns. This code helps healthcare providers document and track hemorrhagic and hematologic disorders affecting infants shortly after birth.
This code covers a range of conditions related to abnormal clotting and fibrinolysis in newborns, including terms such as neonatal purpura fulminans, hereditary forms like protein C deficiency disease, and drug-induced fibrinolytic disorders. These synonyms clarify that P60 is specifically for cases involving newborns who experience widespread clotting accompanied by bleeding risks. Recognizing these terms ensures accurate coding when encountering disorders like secondary non-thrombocytopenic purpura or consumption coagulopathy caused by snake venom. Understanding that P60 applies to neonatal coagulation dysfunction assists medical coders and providers in selecting the correct ICD-10 code for early-life clotting abnormalities, often requiring specialized treatment and monitoring.
