Hemorrhagic and hematological disorders of newborn (P50-P61)

ICD-10 codes P50 to P61 cover hemorrhagic and hematological disorders specifically affecting newborns. These codes are essential for documenting conditions involving bleeding, blood loss, clotting issues, and blood cell abnormalities that occur around the time of birth.

This range includes codes for newborns affected by intrauterine blood loss from various sources, such as P50.0 for vasa previa and P50.1 for ruptured cord. Umbilical hemorrhages are captured under P51, with subtypes like massive hemorrhage coded as P51.0. Intracranial hemorrhages, including different grades of nontraumatic intraventricular hemorrhage (P52.0–P52.22), are covered, along with other neonatal hemorrhages such as gastrointestinal bleeding (P54) and adrenal hemorrhage (P54.4). The range also addresses hemolytic diseases like Rh isoimmunization (P55.0) and ABO incompatibility (P55.1), as well as complications like hydrops fetalis (P56) and kernicterus (P57). Disorders such as neonatal jaundice from various causes (P58–P59), disseminated intravascular coagulation (P60), and transient hematologic conditions like thrombocytopenia (P61.0) are included. By encompassing specific conditions with synonyms like "neonatal jaundice," "neonatal anemia," and "umbilical hemorrhage," these codes assist clinicians and coders in precise diagnosis and documentation of newborn hemorrhagic and hematologic disorders.

Instructional Notations

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
