R71.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of precipitous drop in hematocrit. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code R71 is used to code Anisocytosis

Anisocytosis is a medical term meaning that a patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions. False diagnostic flagging may be triggered by an elevated WBC count, agglutinated RBCs, RBC fragments, giant platelets or platelet clumps. In addition, it is a characteristic feature of bovine blood.
