Pancytopenia ICD-10-CM Codes

Common triggers for pancytopenia include chemotherapy, certain medications like antiepileptics, viral infections like HIV, and autoimmune diseases like lupus.

The severity of pancytopenia is usually determined through a complete blood count (CBC) and bone marrow biopsy. These tests help assess the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Untreated pancytopenia can lead to severe complications such as life-threatening infections, uncontrollable bleeding, and increased susceptibility to other diseases due to a weakened immune system. Early intervention is crucial for a better prognosis.
