ICD-10 Code E70.33 – Albinism with hematologic abnormality (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.33 – Albinism with hematologic abnormality
What it is
This code identifies a form of albinism associated with a bleeding or platelet disorder. Use it when documentation links reduced pigmentation with a hematologic abnormality.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include hypopigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes, with evidence of abnormal bleeding or bruising. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use E70.33 when the record clearly states albinism and a related hematologic abnormality are both present. It may apply when the provider documents a known albinism syndrome with platelet or bleeding involvement. Check documentation if the hematologic issue is not explicitly connected.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for albinism without a documented hematologic abnormality. Do not assign it for isolated anemia, thrombocytopenia, or nonspecific bruising unless the provider links them to the albinism diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm the chart connects the pigmentation disorder and blood abnormality before coding E70.33.
