About the D60 Code Range
The ICD-10 codes for acquired pure red cell aplasia (D60) classify different forms of this rare blood disorder where the bone marrow fails to produce red blood cells. These codes specifically identify chronic, transient, other, and unspecified types of the condition for precise diagnosis and treatment documentation.
Acquired pure red cell aplasia, also known as erythroblastopenia, is represented primarily by D60. For chronic cases, the code D60.0 is used, covering synonyms like "acquired red cell aplasia" and "pure red cell aplasia." The transient form, including childhood onset known as "transient erythroblastopenia of childhood," is coded as D60.1. D60.8 accounts for other less common acquired types, while D60.9 is reserved for unspecified cases, including those caused by antibodies or related to decreased erythroid precursor production. These codes help healthcare professionals accurately document and manage aplastic anemia exclusively affecting red blood cells, facilitating clear communication and correct ICD-10 code selection for coding and clinical use.
