ICD10 code: D61.0
ICD9 code: 284.89
Pure Red Cell Aplasia is a rare disorder characterized by the failure of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. It can be either congenital or acquired. The ICD10 code for Pure Red Cell Aplasia is D61.0, while the corresponding ICD9 code is 284.89.
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare disorder characterized by the selective reduction or absence of red blood cell precursors in the bone marrow. This condition leads to a severe form of anemia, as the body fails to produce an adequate number of mature red blood cells.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for PRCA is D60.0. This code specifically refers to acquired pure red cell aplasia, indicating that the condition is not present at birth but develops later in life. The code D60.0 is used to classify and track cases of PRCA in medical records and healthcare databases.
In the previous edition of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for pure red cell aplasia was 284.89. This code denoted other specified aplastic anemias, including PRCA. However, it is important to note that the ICD-9 system is no longer in use as of October 1, 2015, and has been replaced by the more comprehensive ICD-10 coding system.
By utilizing these specific codes, healthcare professionals can accurately identify and document cases of pure red cell aplasia, allowing for effective monitoring, research, and appropriate treatment of this rare condition.
