2020 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D60.9

Acquired pure red cell aplasia, unspecified

2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Billable/Specific Code

• D60.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

• This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D60.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 D60.9 may differ.

• Acquired adult red cell aplasia due to thymoma
• Acquired adult red cell aplasia with thymoma
• Acquired pure red cell aplasia
• Pure red cell aplasia, acquired

• A disease characterized by normocytic, normochromic anemia, low hematocrit, reticulocytopenia and selective erythroid hypoplasia. It can occur as a chronic or acute form; the former is predominantly seen in adults and the latter in children. Pathogenesis involves immune dysfunction with antibodies directed against erythroid precursor cells or erythropoietin, or due to t-cell mediated suppression of erythropoiesis.
• A rare disorder in which the bone marrow makes almost no red blood cells. It may be caused by infection or by certain drugs. Patients with this disorder may also have a thymoma (a tumor of the thymus) or an autoimmune condition such as lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis.
