R58: Haemorrhage, not elsewhere classified
You are bleeding.
Blood supplies oxygen and nutrients to the tissue in the body.
Only losing a little blood does not often cause any symptoms. However, losing a lot of blood causes you to have low blood pressure, for example. It is then possible for you to get dizzy or see black dots before your eyes. You can also look pale.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
- A: Excluded diagnosis
