About coding anemia amino-acid disorder
The ICD-10-CM code for anemia amino-acid disorder is D53.0 (Protein deficiency anemia).
Within D53 (other nutritional anemias), D53.0 is specifically for protein deficiency anemia. Related codes cover other megaloblastic anemias, not elsewhere classified (D53.1), Scorbutic anemia (D53.2), other specified nutritional anemias (D53.8) and nutritional anemia, unspecified (D53.9).
Don't report D53.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (E79.1).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for D53.0)
- Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (E79.1)
