Family history of dis of the bld/bld-form org/immun mechnsm

This code indicates a patient's personal history of a blood disorder, immune system disorder, or disease of blood-forming organs within their biological family. It signifies a genetic predisposition or increased risk for the patient due to familial patterns of these specific conditions.

Use this code when a patient reports a family history of conditions such as anemia, hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, or autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It is appropriate for documenting a genetic risk factor that may influence screening, diagnosis, or treatment plans for the patient.

• Always specify the exact blood or immune disorder in the family history in the patient's medical record.
• Do not use this code if the patient themselves has been diagnosed with the condition; instead, code the patient's personal diagnosis.
• This code is for family history only and does not represent an active disease process in the patient.
