Refractory anemia is uncommon. It is primarily a disease of older adults. The median survival exceeds 5 years. (WHO, 2001) -- 2003 Anemia characterized by the presence of erythroblasts containing excessive deposits of iron in the marrow. 285.0 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 285.0 contains 9 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 285.1 Acute posthemorrhagic anemia 285.1 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 285.1 contains 18 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 285.2 Anemia in chronic illness 285.2 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 285.21 Anemia in chronic kidney disease 285.21 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 285.21 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 285.22 Anemia in neoplastic disease 285.22 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 285.22 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 285.29 Anemia of other chronic illness 285.29 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 285.29 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 285.8 Other specified anemias A familial disorder characterized by anemia with multinuclear erythroblasts, karyorrhexis, asynchrony of nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, and various nuclear abnormalities of bone marrow erythrocyte precursors. Type II is the most common of the 3 types of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia; it is often referred to as HEMPAS, based on the Hereditary Erythroblast Multinuclearity with Positive Acidified Serum test.

A reduction in the number of circulating erythrocytes or in the quantity of hemoglobin. A reduction in the number of red blood cells per cu mm, the amount of hemoglobin in 100 ml of blood, and the volume of packed red blood cells per 100 ml of blood. Clinically, anemia represents a reduction in the oxygen-transporting capacity of a designated volume of blood, resulting from an imbalance between blood loss (through hemorrhage or hemolysis) and blood production. Signs and symptoms of anemia may include pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, shortness of breath, palpitations of the heart, soft systolic murmurs, lethargy, and fatigability. --2004 285.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 285.9 contains 30 index entries
