ICD-10 Code D58.8 – Other specified hereditary hemolytic anemias (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D58.8 – Other specified hereditary hemolytic anemias
What it is
D58.8 identifies inherited hemolytic anemias that do not fit a more specific hereditary category. Use it when the record clearly states a hereditary hemolytic anemia, but the exact type is not named.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings in hereditary hemolysis may include anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly, or evidence of increased red cell destruction.
When to use this code
Use D58.8 when the provider documents a hereditary hemolytic anemia and specifies an “other” or unspecified inherited form that is not captured by a more exact code. It is appropriate when the chart supports a genetic red cell disorder with hemolysis, but the subtype is not identified. Check documentation if the diagnosis is only suspected.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acquired hemolytic anemias or for hereditary anemias with a more specific ICD-10-CM code. If the cause or subtype is documented elsewhere, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Look for the exact hereditary subtype in the assessment before assigning D58.8.
