Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy. E11.21 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM E11.21 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Your doctor may ask you questions, such as:
While, can hypertensive nephropathy be cured apart from dialysis? Honestly speaking, there is no way to completely cure the hypertensive nephropathy in clinic. The common method to the hypertensive nephropathy is the combination of dialysis and kidney transplant. Dialysis can induce so much discomforts such as weakness, itching skin, muscle cramp, etc. What is worse, the urine output will be less and less with dialysis, at last, the patients can not be save except for kidney transplant.
In later stages, signs and symptoms may include:
ICD-10-CM Code for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy E11. 21.
Per our recent Humana audit, it was indicated that diabetes and hypertension have an assumed relationship and it should be coded as E11. 59 (for type 2 diabetic.)
It is true you wouldn't code both. Diabetic nephropathy is a specific subset of CKD. It is an advanced renal disease due to microvascular damage from hyperglycemia, manifested by proteinuria.
Hypertensive nephropathy refers to kidney failure that can be attributed to a history of hypertension It is a chronic condition and it is a serious risk factor for the development of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
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.
E11. 22 states within its code DM with CKD therefore it is a more accurate code than E11. 21 which is just DM with Nephropathy (any kidney condition).
E11. 22, Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic CKD. I12. 9, hypertensive CKD with stage 1 through 4 CKD, or unspecified CKD.
If you look in the alphabetical index under diabetes/diabetic with neuropathy it is E11. 40 (type 2 DM with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified). You cannot go with E11. 42 because that is specifically with polyneuropathy which is not documented.
What is diabetic nephropathy? Nephropathy is the deterioration of kidney function. The final stage of nephropathy is called kidney failure, end-stage renal disease, or ESRD. According to the CDC, diabetes is the most common cause of ESRD.
As progressive hypertensive nephropathy can cause some glomerular structural changes similar to diffuse diabetic nephropathy, efferent arteriolar hyalinisation is an important morphological feature distinguishing diabetic nephropathy from hypertensive nephropathy, which affects the afferent but not the efferent ...
The mechanism of hypertension in diabetic nephropathy is complex, incompletely understood, and includes excess sodium retention, sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation, endothelial cell dysfunction (ECD), and increased oxidative stress.
ICD-10 code I12. 9 for Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 1 through stage 4 chronic kidney disease, or unspecified chronic kidney disease is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
The body system (s) affected 3. The complications affecting the body system (s) When coding diabetes mellitus, you should use as many codes from categories E08-E13* as necessary to describe all of the complications and associated conditions of the disease.
Diabetesandhigh blood pressure are the two main causes of CKD. Diabetes causes damage to many organs, including the kidneys and heart, as well as blood vessels, nerves and eyes. High blood pressure , or hypertension, if poorly controlled, is a leading cause of heart attacks, strokes and CKD.
In the next related question, the patient has acute pyelonephritis and nephrolithiasis, and the advice is to use two codes: N10, Acute pyelonephritis, and N 20.0, Calculus of kidney.
It is true you wouldn’t code both. Diabetic nephropathy is a specific subset of CKD. It is an advanced renal disease due to microvascular damage from hyperglycemia, manifested by proteinuria. I again refer you to the article referenced above; diabetic kidney disease includes diabetic nephropathy and other parenchymal kidney diseases, ...
