Lymphocytosis (symptomatic)

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

An abnormally high number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) in the blood that is causing symptoms. Lymphocytes are important for immune function, and elevated levels may indicate infection or immune system activation.

Coding Tips

  • •The '(symptomatic)' designation means the patient must have symptoms related to the elevated lymphocytes
  • •Document the underlying cause if identified, such as viral infection or leukemia, as this may require additional coding
