Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (D50–D89)

ICD-10-CM Chapter 3 covers conditions related to the blood, blood-forming organs, and immune system disorders. It includes codes for anemia, coagulation defects, and immunodeficiencies.

This chapter encompasses a wide range of disorders affecting how blood cells develop and function, including various types of anemia such as iron-deficiency or hemolytic anemia. It also addresses coagulation defects that impact blood clotting processes, leading to bleeding or clotting issues. Additionally, codes in this range represent immune system disorders where the body's defense mechanisms are weakened or abnormal, such as immunodeficiencies or autoimmune conditions. Healthcare providers use these codes to document diagnoses related to blood abnormalities and immune dysfunctions accurately. This ensures clear communication for treatment planning, insurance claims, and epidemiological tracking of these diseases.
