D735 - Death of spleen tissue due to blocked blood supply
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
Infarction of the spleen occurs when blood flow to part or all of the spleen is blocked, causing that tissue to die from lack of oxygen and nutrients. The spleen is an organ in the upper left part of the abdomen that helps filter blood and fight infections. This condition can cause severe abdominal pain, especially in the left upper area, and may be caused by blood clots, sickle cell disease, or other conditions that affect blood circulation.
