Type A blood, Rh positive

This code indicates a patient's specific blood type as A positive. It identifies the presence of A antigens on the red blood cells and the Rh factor (D antigen), which is crucial for blood transfusions and other medical procedures.

This code is used to document a patient's confirmed blood type, often obtained through laboratory testing. It is typically recorded in a patient's medical record for pre-operative assessments, prenatal care, or in cases where blood product administration may be necessary.

• Only assign this code when the patient's blood type has been definitively determined and documented.
• Do not use this code as a primary diagnosis unless the blood type itself is the focus of the encounter (e.g., for documentation purposes in a blood bank).
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies both the ABO group (Type A) and the Rh factor (positive).
