Acute erythroid leukemia, in remission

This code signifies a diagnosis of acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) where the disease is currently in remission. AEL is a rare and aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by the proliferation of immature erythroid precursors in the bone marrow. "In remission" indicates that the signs and symptoms of the leukemia have significantly decreased or disappeared following treatment.

This code is used when a patient with a confirmed history of acute erythroid leukemia is documented as being in remission. Documentation should clearly state "acute erythroid leukemia in remission" or similar terminology, often supported by bone marrow biopsy results or peripheral blood counts indicating no active disease. It applies to ongoing follow-up care for patients who have achieved remission.

• Do not use this code if the patient is still actively receiving treatment for or has active acute erythroid leukemia; use codes for active disease.
• Distinguish from other subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia; ensure documentation specifies "erythroid."
• Consider sequencing this code after any codes for complications or ongoing treatment related to the remission status, if applicable.
