R70-R79: Abnormal findings on examination of blood, without diagnosis
The group of conditions classified under "Abnormal findings on examination of blood, without diagnosis" generally refer to irregularities detected during blood tests that might indicate an underlying health issue. These irregularities aren't diagnostic on their own, but they can provide crucial clues to the possible presence of disease or disorder. These might include abnormal red or white blood cell counts, irregular levels of enzymes, proteins, salts or sugars, or unusual presence of substances such as blood in the urine. These irregular findings might be the result of various factors including infection, inflammation, medication, nutritional deficiencies, or more serious conditions like organ diseases or cancer. Depending on the type and severity of the abnormality, symptoms can vary from none to very noticeable, which might influence disease progression and impact the overall health of various body systems.
