is pancytopenia considered a comorbid
Pancytopenia is a very important, serious comorbid condition commonly occurring among oncology patients, but it is often not specifically documented as such in the medical record. It is defined as suppression of all 3 bone marrow cell-lines resulting in simultaneous neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia.ancytopenia (and its cause) is always a significant diagnosis that affects severity of illness classification. It is considered most severe when due to chemotherapy or other drugs. Richard Pinson, MD, FACP, is a certified coding specialist and cofounder of HCQ Consulting in Houston.
