Acute myeloid leukemia w 11q23-abnormality not achieve remis

This code signifies a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by a chromosomal abnormality involving the 11q23 region, and the patient has not yet achieved remission. This genetic alteration is often associated with a more aggressive disease course.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of AML with an 11q23 chromosomal abnormality and the patient is currently in an active disease state, meaning remission has not been attained. This is typically used for initial diagnoses or during active treatment phases before remission is achieved.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "11q23-abnormality" or a specific gene rearrangement within that region (e.g., KMT2A/MLL rearrangement).
• Do not use this code if the patient has achieved remission; a different code for AML in remission would be appropriate.
• Confirm the "not having achieved remission" status; this is a critical component of the code's specificity.
