ICD-Code Z94.81: Bone-marrow stem cell transplantation status with current immunosuppression

In the past you were given blood stem cells.

Stem cells are cells that can develop into different types of cells. Blood cells develop from the blood stem cells. In adults, blood stem cells are mainly found inside some bones. From there, the mature blood cells are released into the blood. A small amount of blood stem cells also enters the blood.

When blood stem cells are transplanted, the healthy blood stem cells can come from the patient themselves or from another person.

In receiving the blood stem cells from another person, you may also get foreign immune cells. These immune cells can then attack the body. So you are currently taking a drug that should suppress the immune cells.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
