ICD-10 Code C94.0 – Acute erythroid leukemia (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C94.0 – Acute erythroid leukemia
What it is
C94.0 identifies acute erythroid leukemia, a rare acute myeloid leukemia involving malignant erythroid precursor cells. Use it when the record specifically names this diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may present with anemia, fatigue, weakness, bruising, bleeding, or infections consistent with acute leukemia.
When to use this code
Use C94.0 when the provider documents acute erythroid leukemia, including confirmed pathology or hematology assessment. Code it for encounter records focused on this specific leukemia type, not for nonspecific anemia or general leukemia unless the subtype is stated.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other acute myeloid leukemias, chronic leukemias, or anemia without a documented leukemia diagnosis. Check documentation if the subtype is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify the exact leukemia subtype in the pathology or oncology note before assigning C94.0.
