2. What is Anemia? Low blood count or tired blood count Lack of healthy red blood cells (hemoglobin) Carries oxygen from lungs to body Causes: Fatigue Headaches Weakness Dizziness Shortness of breath Irregular heartbeat

3. Causes of Anemia Nutritional deficiencies Heavy periods or blood loss Internal bleeding Intestinal issues Chronic disorders Genetic disorders Infections

4. Classification of Anemia Microcytic Anemia Normocytic Anemia Macrocytic Anemia

5. Microcytic Anemia Caused by iron deficiency Small red blood cells Other causes: Thalassemia Lead poisoning Chronic diseases

6. Normocytic Anemia Normal-sized but fewer red blood cells Causes: Chronic kidney disease Cancer Bone marrow issues Medications

7. Macrocytic Anemia Large red blood cells Causes: Vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency Liver disease Alcoholism Certain medications

8. Introduction to ICD-10 Code D64.9 D64.9: Anemia, unspecified Billable ICD-10 code Blood-related diseases and immune disorders category

9. Brief Explanation of D64.9 Used when type/cause of anemia isn’t specified Used when: Testing not completed Results are inconclusive

10. Symptoms of D64.9 Anemia Weakness Pale skin Irregular heartbeat Fatigue Shortness of breath Lightheadedness Chest pain Headaches Cold hands/feet

11. Key Symptoms Explained Fatigue and Weakness Shortness of Breath Pale or Yellowish Skin Dizziness and Lightheadedness Fast or Irregular Heartbeat

12. Important Note Symptoms vary based on health, type, and severity Always consult a healthcare provider

13. ICD-10 Codes for Different Types of Anemia Overview of specific types and their codes

18. Hemolytic Anemia Overview Red blood cells destroyed faster than produced Causes: Genetic conditions Infections Medications Autoimmune disorders Symptoms: Fatigue Jaundice Dark urine Pale skin Fever Weakness

19. Hemolytic Anemia – Enzyme Disorders (D55) Codes: D55.0: G6PD deficiency D55.1: Glutathione metabolism disorder D55.2: Glycolytic enzyme disorders D55.3: Nucleotide metabolism disorders D55.8: Other enzyme disorder anemias D55.9: Enzyme disorder anemia, unspecified
