2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.339 – Albinism with hematologic abnormality, unspecified

What it is

This code identifies albinism associated with a blood or platelet abnormality, but the specific hematologic defect is not documented. Use it when the record confirms this combined condition and does not name a more specific subtype.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include reduced pigment in skin, hair, and eyes, along with evidence of a bleeding tendency or another hematologic disorder. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents albinism with an associated hematologic abnormality and the chart does not specify the exact type. It also fits when the hematologic issue is noted, but not described in enough detail for a more specific code. Check documentation if the record only mentions albinism without blood findings.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for albinism without any documented hematologic abnormality. Do not use it when a more specific diagnosis, such as a defined platelet disorder, is clearly stated.

Coding tip

If the hematologic abnormality is named in the note, code the more specific condition instead of this unspecified category.
