D69: Purpura and other haemorrhagic conditions
D69.8: Other specified haemorrhagic conditions
D69.8, or Other Specified Haemorrhagic Conditions, encompasses a range of conditions characterized by abnormal bleeding. This diagnostic label is often used when a patient's condition doesn't fit into a more specific category but still involves issues with blood clotting or bleeding. These conditions could result from a variety of underlying causes including medication side effects, a blood clotting disorder, or severe infections. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity, but typically involve any unexplained or excessive bleeding. This might occur within the skin, resulting in bruises or petechiae (small round spots that appear as a rash); in mucous membranes, leading to nosebleeds or gum bleeding; or in other parts of the body, leading to blood in urine or stool, or heavy menstrual periods in women. Disease progression and the systems affected also depend on the underlying cause and location of bleeding.
