Talk:Fecal occult blood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] ICD10 code in infobox

This source discusses the decision whether in ICD10, faecal occult blood should be coded to "R19.5 – Other faecal abnormalities" or "K92.1 - Melaena", and concludes that because "ICD10 can’t measure the quantity of blood, a diagnosis of faecal occult blood should be coded to K92.1 - Melaena". --Arcadian 14:19, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
