What are the symptoms of anemia of inflammation?
Look up Anemia as your main term to locate “with (due to) (in),” wherein you will find the condition listed under “due to (in)(with).” CKD, ESRD, and neoplasm presume a causal relationship with anemia.
Anemia of chronic renal disease, also known as anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a form of normocytic, normochromic, hypoproliferative anemia. It is frequently associated with poor outcomes in chronic kidney disease and confers an increased mortality risk.
When you have kidney disease, your kidneys cannot make enough EPO. Low EPO levels cause your red blood cell count to drop and anemia to develop. Most people with kidney disease will develop anemia. Anemia can happen early in the course of kidney disease and grow worse as kidneys fail and can no longer make EPO.

In patients with chronic kidney disease, normochromic normocytic anaemia mainly develops from decreased renal synthesis of erythropoietin. The anaemia becomes more severe as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) progressively decreases.
Abstract. Normochromic normocytic anemia regularly develops in chronic renal failure when the glomerular filtration rate drops below 20-30 ml/min. The reasons include: 1) a moderately reduced red cell life span, 2) blood loss, and 3) an inadequate increase in erythropoiesis relative to the fall in hemoglobin (Hb).
Anemia of chronic disease is the most common normocytic anemia and the second most common form of anemia worldwide (after iron deficiency anemia). The MCV may be low in some patients with this type of anemia.
The preferred initial therapy for anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). ESAs available in the United States include epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp).
Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) is anemia that is found in people with certain long-term (chronic) medical conditions that involve inflammation. Blood is comprised of red blood cells, platelets, and various white blood cells.

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.
Anemia in chronic diseases classified elsewhere 1 D63 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM D63 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D63 - other international versions of ICD-10 D63 may differ.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM D63 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function resulting in renal failure. Causes include diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. Impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning of the kidney. Impairment of the renal function due to chronic kidney damage.
This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years.
Code sequencing matters when the admission/encounter is for management of anemia associated with malignancy, and the treatment is only for the anemia. According to ICD-10-CM guidelines, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal (or first-listed) diagnosis, followed by the appropriate code for the anemia.
What if the reason for admission is for management of anemia associated with an adverse effect of chemotherapy or immunotherapy, and the treatment is only for the anemia? In this case, sequence the anemia code first, followed by the codes for the neoplasm and the adverse effect.
When a patient has chronic kidney disease (CKD) and anemia, assign the appropriate code from category N18 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and code D63.1 Anemia in chronic kidney disease.
Anemia is very common but may present for any number of reasons. You must know the reason to code this condition correctly and with the utmost specificity. If it is not clear in the documentation, query the provider.
