Code D53.1 ICD-10-CM Code D53.1 Other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified BILLABLE | ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016 D53.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
D53.0 D53.1 D53.2 ICD-10-CM Code for Other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified D53.1 ICD-10 code D53.1 for Other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism .
Megaloblastic anemia is a type of anemia characterized by very large red blood cells. In addition to the cells being large, the inner contents of each cell are not completely developed. This malformation causes the bone marrow to produce fewer cells, and sometimes the cells die earlier than the 120-day life expectancy.
Other names for megaloblastic anemia macrocytic anemia, which occurs when RBCs are larger than normal. folic acid deficiency anemia or folate deficiency anemia. pernicious anemia. vitamin B12 deficiency anemia.
A diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia is made based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, a detailed patient history, identification of characteristic findings and a variety of blood tests. Blood tests may reveal the abnormally large, misshapen red blood cells that characterize megaloblastic anemia.
Megaloblastic anemia (MA) encompasses a heterogeneous group of anemias characterized by the presence of large red blood cell precursors called megaloblasts in the bone marrow. This condition is due to impaired DNA synthesis, which inhibits nuclear division.Oct 11, 2021
Reticulocyte counts are inappropriately low, representing lack of production of RBCs due to massive intramedullary hemolysis. These findings are characteristics of ineffective hematopoiesis that occurs in megaloblastic anemia as well as in other disorders such as thalassemia major.Jul 17, 2021
Nonmegaloblastic macrocytic anemias are those in which no impairment of DNA synthesis occurs. Included in this category are disorders associated with increased membrane surface area, accelerated erythropoiesis, alcoholism, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Testing for megaloblastic anemia is often prompted by the identification of macrocytosis from a CBC; if neurologic symptoms or other clinical features prompt testing, a CBC should be performed. Hemoglobin and hematocrit can be measured to confirm anemia.
Anemia occurring in the presence of macrocytosis and hypersegmented neutrophils is known as megaloblastic anemia. The absence of hypersegmented neutrophils characterizes non-megaloblastic anemia.
Megaloblastic Anemias. Megaloblastic anemias are the most common macrocytic anemias, particularly those due to vitamin B12 (cobalamin) or folate deficiency (seeTable 11-7). Megaloblastic anemias are the consequence of ineffective erythropoiesis due to defects in DNA synthesis.
Although megaloblastic-pernicious anemia is a common disease, association of pernicious and autoimmune hemolytic anemia with two mechanisms of hemolysis (ineffective erythropoiesis and immune mechanism) is a rare condition, with only several dozens of cases described so far.
Either a lack of vitamin B-12 or a lack of folate causes a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia (pernicious anemia). With these types of anemia, the red blood cells don't develop normally.
Megaloblastic anemia (or megaloblastic anaemia) is an anemia (of macrocytic classification) that results from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. When DNA synthesis is impaired, the cell cycle cannot progress from the G2 growth stage to the mitosis (M) stage.
D53.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The defect in red cell DNA synthesis is most often due to hypovitaminosis, specifically a deficiency of vitamin B12 and/or folic acid.
Specialty: Hematology. MeSH Code: D000749. ICD 9 Code: 281.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
Vitamin B12 deficiency alone will not cause the syndrome in the presence of sufficient folate, as the mechanism is loss of B12 dependent folate recycling, followed by folate-deficiency loss of nucleic acid synthesis (specifically thymine), leading to defects in DNA synthesis.
D53.1 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified. The code D53.1 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code D53.1 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like acute megaloblastic anemia, acute megaloblastic anemia due to dialysis, acute megaloblastic anemia due to nitrous oxide, acute megaloblastic anemia due to severe illness, acute megaloblastic anemia secondary to total parenteral nutrition , anemia due to multiple mechanisms, etc.
It carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Anemia has three main causes: blood loss, lack of red blood cell production , and high rates of red blood cell destruction. Conditions that may lead to anemia include. Heavy periods.
Type 1 Excludes. A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!". An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note.
Also called: Iron poor blood. If you have anemia, your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body. The most common cause of anemia is not having enough iron. Your body needs iron to make hemoglobin.
G6PD deficiency, a metabolic disorder. Anemia can make you feel tired, cold, dizzy, and irritable. You may be short of breath or have a headache. Your doctor will diagnose anemia with a physical exam and blood tests. Treatment depends on the kind of anemia you have.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
