About coding spleen infarct

The ICD-10-CM code for spleen infarct is D73.5 (Infarction of spleen). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on D73.5.

Within D73 (diseases of spleen), D73.5 is specifically for infarction of spleen. Related codes cover Hyposplenism (D73.0), Hypersplenism (D73.1), chronic congestive splenomegaly (D73.2), abscess of spleen (D73.3), cyst of spleen (D73.4), other diseases of spleen (D73.8) and disease of spleen, unspecified (D73.9).

Don't report D73.5 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: rupture of spleen due to Plasmodium vivax malaria (B51.0) and traumatic rupture of spleen (S36.03-).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

More specific spleen infarct codes (official index)

Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for D73.5)

  • rupture of spleen due to Plasmodium vivax malaria (B51.0)
  • traumatic rupture of spleen (S36.03-)
