Code D64. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Anemia, Unspecified, it falls under the category of diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism. Anemia specifically, is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is below normal.
Mild, chronic GI blood loss may not show any active bleeding, but can still result in an iron deficiency anemia. Many of these patients never notice any blood loss, but it occurs in small amounts with the bowel movement so that it is not noticeable.
ICD-10 code R58 for Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Anemia is characterized by a reduction in the number of circulating red blood cells (RBCs), the amount of hemoglobin, or the volume of packed red blood cells (hematocrit). Anemia is classified as acute or chronic. Acute anemia denotes a precipitous drop in the RBC population due to hemolysis or acute hemorrhage.
Aims: chronic gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in the general population.
Blood loss is a major cause of iron-deficiency anemia. Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common cause of iron deficiency in adult men and is second only to menstrual blood loss as a cause in women.

Even in the presence of a low Hb level at discharge, an acceptable outcome is expected after endoscopic hemostasis for nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Recovery of the Hb level after discharge is complete within 45 days.
A history of certain infections, blood diseases and autoimmune disorders increases your risk of anemia. Alcoholism, exposure to toxic chemicals and the use of some medications can affect red blood cell production and lead to anemia. Age. People over age 65 are at increased risk of anemia.
When there's bleeding in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum (part of the small intestine), the stool is usually black, tarry, and very foul smelling. Vomit may be bright red or have a "coffee-grounds" appearance when bleeding is from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.

As a part of confirming the diagnosis doctor may ask your personal and family history and also do a Physical exam and blood test CBC (complete blood count).
Types of Anemia: We will see few types of anemia which are frequently seen in medical records. Iron deficiency anemia –Iron is needed in blood to make hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when there is very low amount of iron in blood. Mostly this can happen in woman due to heavy menstruation.
Anemia can occur due to many reasons such as blood loss, any other disease, during pregnancy, nutrition deficiency, drug induced and many more. So, there are plenty of Anemia ICD 10 codes and will discuss later on the same.

D50-D89 Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism
When evaluation does not reveal a source or possible source of the bleed, the anemia is the PDX.
Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, pale skin, heart palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Some patients present for evaluation with one or more of the above symptoms, others may have no symptoms however anemia may be detected by a simple blood test called a complete blood count (CBC). Sickle cell anemia/hemoglobin SS is an inherited ...
Coding Clinic 2013 3Q page 8 describes a patient who presents with generalized weakness, severe hypochromic microcytic anemia, and melena. The provider described, ‘etiology of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding resulting in anemia is to be established.” The patient underwent EGD and colonoscopy with colon biopsy. A fungating malignant mass in the right colon was identified. The provider’s final statement indicated, “Adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon, acute microcytic hypochromic anemia secondary to blood loss due to GI bleeding”.
When a patient presents with signs and symptoms of anemia, treatment of the anemia is begun which may be oral therapy or transfusion , the thrust of care may be associated with the anemia. However, when the patient, once stable, begins the evaluation and search for the source of the anemia and after careful study that source is identified, gastritis, esophagitis, erosion, ulcer, AVM, fungating mass…the identified source of the bleeding that caused the anemia is the PDX followed by the type of anemia documented.
When the reason for the anemia is identified, sickle cell anemia, gastrointestinal bleed (ulcer, erosion, AVM, etc.). Trauma, etc., the cause/reason for the anemia is the PDX, however, we always have to keep in mind that the PDX is whatever is the circumstance of the admission, and/or the reason for admission after study.
Sickle cell anemia/hemoglobin SS is an inherited type of anemia in which the red blood cells/hemoglobin are distorted or sickle-shaped making them fragile and prone to rupture. Since the RBCs/hemoglobin are the oxygen-carrying protein within the RBC, the abnormal shape inhibits the function of the RBC.
Gastrointestinal hemorrhage manifests itself in several ways: When a patient presents with signs and symptoms of anemia, treatment of the anemia is begun which may be oral therapy or transfusion, the thrust of care may be associated with the anemia.
