Type B blood, Rh positive

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

This code is used when documenting a patient's confirmed blood type, often as part of pre-operative workups, prenatal care, or in cases requiring blood product administration. It's typically recorded after laboratory testing has definitively determined the patient's ABO and Rh status.

• Only assign this code when the blood type is explicitly documented as B positive.
• Do not use this code for presumptive or unconfirmed blood types.
• This code is for informational purposes and does not typically represent a primary diagnosis.
