systolic blood pressure of greater than 180mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure of greater than 110mmHg. The hypertensive urgency (I16. 0) code should be used when there is no presence of target organ damage, The hypertensive emergency (I16.
The incidence of both orthostatic hypotension (OH) and hypertension increases with age, arguably in relation to a decrease in autonomic and baroreflex function. It is not surprising, therefore, that they often coexist.
Orthostatic hypotension — also called postural hypotension — is a form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can cause dizziness or lightheadedness and possibly fainting.
This condition is divided into two categories based on the presence or absence of target organ damage. While end-organ damage occurs in a hypertensive emergency, a rapid and severe elevation in BP in the absence of organ injury is termed hypertensive urgency.
2: Hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders.
HYPERTENSION, SECONDARY Secondary hypertension is due to an underlying condition. Two codes are required: ❖ one to identify the underlying etiology ❖ one from category I15 to identify the hypertension. Sequencing of codes is determined by the reason for admission/encounter.

If the provider specifically documents a different cause for the heart condition unrelated to high blood pressure, then the HTN and heart condition should be coded separately and not linked via a combination code. In such cases, sequence according to the circumstances of the admission/encounter.
In ICD-9, essential hypertension was coded using 401.0 (malignant), 401.1 (benign), or 401.9 (unspecified). ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.

A hypertensive crisis is a severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to stroke, organ damage, heart attack, and more. The Mayo Clinic defines extreme high blood pressure as “a top number (systolic pressure) of 180 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or higher or a bottom number (diastolic pressure) of 120 mm Hg or higher.”.
Hypertensive Emergency. If your blood pressure reading is 180/120 or greater and you are experiencing any other associated symptoms of target organ damage such as chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness/weakness, change in vision, or difficulty speaking then this would be considered a hypertensive emergency.
If your blood pressure is 180/120 or greater, wait about five minutes and try again. If the second reading is just as high and you are not experiencing any other associated symptoms of target organ damage such as chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness/weakness, change in vision, or difficulty speaking, ...
