Clinical Classification
Clinical Classifications group individual ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes into broader, clinically meaningful categories. These categories help simplify complex data by organizing related conditions under common clinical themes.
They are especially useful for data analysis, reporting, and clinical decision-making. Even when diagnosis codes differ, similar conditions can be grouped together based on their clinical relevance. Each category is assigned a unique CCSR code that represents a specific clinical concept, often tied to a body system or medical specialty.

CCSR Code: BLD007
Inpatient Default: Y - Yes, default inpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Outpatient Default: Y - Yes, default outpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Clinical Information
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
a rare autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disorder caused by deficiency of cd18 expression. it is characterized by defects in neutrophil adhesion and bacterial infections.Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1|LAD-1|LAD-1 Deficiency|LAD-Type I|LAD1|LFA-I Deficiency|LFA1 Immunodeficiency
a rare immunodeficiency with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. it is caused by mutation in the itgb2 gene on chromosome 21 which codes for the beta subunit of beta-2 integrin (cd18). the mutation results in significantly reduced or absent expression of cd18 on the surface of leukocytes which impairs their ability to migrate and interact with antigens. initial clinical signs include omphalitis and delayed separation of the umbilical cord. the clinical course is marked by recurrent bacterial and fungal infection without pus formation. in instances where there is < 1% expression of cd18, prognosis is dismal with a high likelihood for life-threatening infection within the first year of life.Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 2|CDGIIc|Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type IIc|LAD-Type II|Sialyl-Lewis X Defect
leukocyte adhesion deficiency, type ii. an inherited disease affecting the metabolism of fucose, which affects the expression of the sialyl lewis x antigen, the fucose-containing ligand for e- and p-selectins, resulting in a deficiency in neutrophil adhesion. syn sialyl-lewis x defect.Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 3|LAD-3|LAD-III
an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the fermt3 gene, encoding fermitin family homolog 3. it is characterized by a defect in activation of all beta integrins. it manifests clinically as severe infections with marked leukocytosis, accompanied by life-threatening bleeding episodes.
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese 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.

Convert D72.89 to ICD-9-CM
Below are the ICD-9 codes that most closely match this ICD-10 code, based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs). This ICD-10 to ICD-9 crosswalk tool is helpful for coders who need to reference legacy diagnosis codes for audits, historical claims, or approximate code comparisons.

ICD-9-CM: 288.8
This is a direct match with no additional mapping qualifiers. The absence of a flag generally means the mapping is considered exact or precise. In other words, the ICD-10 code maps cleanly to the ICD-9 code without qualification, approximation, or needing multiple codes.
Patient Education
Blood Disorders
Your blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Blood disorders affect one or more parts of the blood and prevent your blood from doing its job. They can be acute or chronic. Many blood disorders are inherited. Other causes include other diseases, side effects of medicines, and a lack of certain nutrients in your diet.
Types of blood disorders include:
- Platelet disorders, excessive clotting, and bleeding problems, which affect how your blood clots
- Anemia, which happens when your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body
- Cancers of the blood, such as leukemia and myeloma
- Eosinophilic disorders, which are problems with one type of white blood cell.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
