ICD-10 Code D60.8 – Other acquired pure red cell aplasias (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D60.8 – Other acquired pure red cell aplasias
What it is
D60.8 identifies acquired pure red cell aplasia that does not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM category. It refers to selective failure of red blood cell production, usually with preserved white cell and platelet lines.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include anemia-related fatigue, pallor, and shortness of breath. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for evidence of isolated red cell aplasia and any noted acquired cause.
When to use this code
Use D60.8 when the record documents acquired pure red cell aplasia and the provider does not specify a more exact subtype. It is appropriate when the condition is clearly acquired, not congenital, and not better captured by another red cell aplasia code. Check documentation for associated conditions or underlying causes.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for congenital pure red cell aplasia, general anemia, or marrow failure without documented pure red cell aplasia. If the chart names a more specific acquired etiology, code that instead.
Coding tip
Assign D60.8 only when the note explicitly supports acquired pure red cell aplasia and no more specific code is available.
