What does "comma" in an index entry mean?

Hypothyroidism has a subentry for subclinical, iodine-deficiency related. Thrombocytosis, essential is an entry. Do the terms after the comma need to be documented/part of the diagnostic statement? I haven't found an official ICD-10 convention for this. AAPC seems to think the terms should be documented.
