Impaired RBC production due to iron deficiency
Use for anemia NYD without known bleed
When a patient is NOT BLEEDING but does require a blood transfusion or medication because their HGB or HCT are low, I usually use iron (FE) deficiency anemia as the code in this event unless it is clearly a documented as being related another specific type of cause. See other type of Anemia's. ----LKolesar 14:36, 10 January 2012 (CST)
This will no longer need to be done in ICD10 for Anemia due to iron deficiency since we will also have Anemia, NOS.
