Fetal anemia and thrombocytopenia, second trimester, fetus 5

This code signifies the presence of anemia and a low platelet count in a specific fetus (fetus 5) during the second trimester of a multiple gestation pregnancy. These conditions indicate potential fetal distress or underlying hematological issues requiring close monitoring and possible intervention.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates both fetal anemia and thrombocytopenia are diagnosed in the fifth fetus of a multiple pregnancy, specifically between 14 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days gestation. Supporting documentation would include ultrasound findings, fetal blood sampling results, and physician notes detailing the diagnosis and trimester.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "fetus 5" to differentiate from other fetuses in a multiple gestation.
• Verify the gestational age falls within the second trimester (14-27 weeks) for accurate trimester assignment.
• Do not use this code if only anemia or only thrombocytopenia is present; both conditions must be documented.
