Additional Info
Includes
- Microcytosis-term for red blood cell (RBC) size smaller than the normal range
Abnormal test
- This code identifies an abnormal test result, not a disorder.
- The preference is to code the cause of the abnormal test, if known.
- also coding this abnormal test, along with the cause is optional however, it is not necessary.
- When the DX is not known, code likely related other tests and signs and symptoms as Combined ICD10 codes; some likely ones might be listed in #Candidate Combined ICD10 codes.
Repeated events
If this happens repeatedly during the same ward or unit stay, only code it the first time it happens, regardless of whether it is an Admit Diagnosis or Acquired Diagnosis, rather than each time it happens. See ICD10 codes only coded the first time for other diagnoses coded this way.

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition =={sc:anemia, polycythemia, DIC}
