ICD-9 code 280.9 for Iron deficiency anemia unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -DISEASES OF THE BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS (280-289).
ICD- 10-CM classifies acute blood loss anemia to code D62, Acute posthemorrhagic anemia, and chronic blood loss anemia to code D50. 0, Iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic).
ICD-10 code D64. 89 for Other specified anemias 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 .
D50. 9 - Iron deficiency anemia, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin). As a result, iron deficiency anemia may leave you tired and short of breath.
Acute anemia occurs when there is an abrupt drop in RBCs, most often by hemolysis or acute hemorrhage. Chronic anemia, on the other hand, is generally a gradual decline in RBCs, and causes include iron or other nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, drug-induced, and other causes.
It is generally accepted that an acute drop in hemoglobin to a level of 7-8 g/dL is symptomatic, whereas levels of 4-5 g/dL may be tolerated in chronic anemia, as the body is able to gradually replace the loss of intravascular volume.
Anaemia may also be caused by factors other than iron deficiency. Iron deficiency may be present with anaemia of another, or unspecified, cause. Therefore, it is inappropriate to assign D50. 9 Iron deficiency anaemia, unspecified when the two conditions are documented separately in the medical record.

Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease ICD-10-CM Code range N17-N19. The ICD-10 code range for Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease N17-N19 is medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Anemia in chronic kidney disease specifically falls under the category of decreased red blood cell production. In CKD or ESRD, kidney function is compromised to the point that blood cannot be filtered of wastes and fluid.
The ICD-10-CM guideline states: When admission/encounter is for management of an anemia associated with the malignancy, and the treatment is only for anemia, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal or first-listed diagnosis followed by code D63. 0, Anemia in neoplastic disease.

285.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of anemia, unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Your doctor will diagnose anemia with a physical exam and blood tests. Treatment depends on the kind of anemia you have.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
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. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives the red color to blood. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
A condition in which the number of red blood cells is below normal. A disorder characterized by an reduction in the amount of hemoglobin in 100 ml of blood.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D64.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Iron deficiency anemia is also known as anemia iron deficiency, anemia microcytic, anemia microcytic hypochromic, anemia microcytic normochromic, anemia normocytic hypochromic, iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency anemia of pregnancy, maternal anemia iron deficiency antepartum, maternal anemia iron deficiency before birth, microcytic anemia, microcytic hypochromic anemia, microcytic normochromic anemia, and normocytic hypochromic anemia..
Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia where the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Symptoms include pale skin, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, cold hands and feet, brittle nails, fast heartbeat, unusual cravings, poor appetite, and extreme fatigue.
