A malignant (clonal) hematologic disorder, involving hematopoietic stem cells and characterized by the presence of primitive or atypical myeloid or lymphoid cells in the bone marrow and the blood. Leukemias are classified as acute or chronic based on the degree of cellular differentiation and the predominant cell type present. Leukemia is usually associated with anemia, fever, hemorrhagic episodes and splenomegaly. Common leukemias include acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic or precursor lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Treatment is vital to patient survival; untreated, the natural course of acute leukemias is normally measured in weeks or months, while that of chronic leukemias is more often measured in months or years. -- 2004 A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. It is classified according to degree of cell differentiation as acute or chronic, and according to predominant type of cell involved as myelogenous or lymphocytic. (Dorland, 28th ed) 208 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.0 Leukemia of unspecified cell type acute A clonal (malignant) hematopoietic disorder affecting the bone marrow and the peripheral blood. The malignant cells show minimal differentiation and are called blasts, either myeloid blasts (myeloblasts) or lymphoid blasts (lymphoblasts). According to the type of blasts present, acute leukemias are classified as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and precursor lymphoblastic or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). -- 2004 A rapidly progressing cancer of the blood-forming tissue (bone marrow). 208.0 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis 208.0 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.00 Leukemia of unspecified cell type acute without remission 208.00 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.01 Leukemia of unspecified cell type acute in remission Acute leukemia not growing; responding to treatment 208.01 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.1 Leukemia of unspecified cell type chronic (KRAHN-ik) A slowly progressing cancer of the blood-forming tissues. Leukemia that progresses slowly. (OCC) 208.1 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis 208.1 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.10 Leukemia of unspecified cell type chronic without remission 208.10 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.11 Leukemia of unspecified cell type chronic in remission Leukemia that is no longer growing or metastasizing; it is responding to therapy. 208.11 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.2 Leukemia of unspecified cell type subacute 208.2 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis 208.2 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.20 Leukemia of unspecified cell type subacute without remission 208.20 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.21 Leukemia of unspecified cell type subacute in remission 208.21 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.8 Other leukemia of unspecified cell type 208.8 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis 208.8 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.80 Other leukemia of unspecified cell type without remission 208.80 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.81 Other leukemia of unspecified cell type in remission 208.81 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.9 Unspecified leukemia (loo-KEE-mee-a) Cancer of blood-forming tissue. A malignant (clonal) hematologic disorder, involving hematopoietic stem cells and characterized by the presence of primitive or atypical myeloid or lymphoid cells in the bone marrow and the blood. Leukemias are classified as acute or chronic based on the degree of cellular differentiation and the predominant cell type present.

It is classified according to degree of cell differentiation as acute or chronic, and according to predominant type of cell involved as myelogenous or lymphocytic. (Dorland, 28th ed) 208.9 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis 208.9 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 208.90 Unspecified leukemia without remission (loo-KEE-mee-a) Cancer of blood-forming tissue. A malignant (clonal) hematologic disorder, involving hematopoietic stem cells and characterized by the presence of primitive or atypical myeloid or lymphoid cells in the bone marrow and the blood. Leukemias are classified as acute or chronic based on the degree of cellular differentiation and the predominant cell type present.
