N18.5 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Chronic kidney disease, stage 5 . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 . ICD-10 code N18.5 is based on the following Tabular structure:
Instead, use the following codes:
ICD-10 requires first using an I12 code for the combined diagnosis of hypertension and chronic kidney disease: I12. 0, Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or end- stage renal disease, I12.
ICD-10 Code: I10 – Essential (Primary) Hypertension.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease I12. 0.
Renal hypertension (or renovascular hypertension) is high blood pressure caused by the narrowing of your arteries that carry blood to your kidneys. It is also sometimes called renal artery stenosis.
3.
Hypertension, also known as high or raised blood pressure, is a condition in which the blood vessels have persistently raised pressure.
In ICD-10, the diagnosis codes are simplified and the hypertension table is no longer necessary.
Coders have been advised to code “CKD” (any stage, or without mention of a stage) to N03. 9, and also to code any concurrent mention of renal failure or impairment (chronic or unspecified) to N18. - or N19 as appropriate.
ICD-10 code: N18. 5 Chronic kidney disease, stage 5.
Your kidneys play a key role in keeping your blood pressure in a healthy range. Diseased kidneys are less able to help regulate blood pressure. As a result, blood pressure increases. If you have CKD, high blood pressure makes it more likely that your kidney disease will get worse and you will have heart problems.
Causes of Renal Hypertension When the kidneys receive low blood flow, they act as if the low flow is due to dehydration. So they respond by releasing hormones that stimulate the body to retain sodium and water. Blood vessels fill with additional fluid, and blood pressure goes up.
The pathophysiology of CKD associated hypertension is multi-factorial with different mechanisms contributing to hypertension. These pathogenic mechanisms include sodium dysregulation, increased sympathetic nervous system and alterations in renin angiotensin aldosterone system activity.
Documentation must state (heart failure due to hypertension) or imply a causal relationship (hypertensive heart failure) to assign a code from category I11, Hypertensive heart disease. Guidelines state that there is a presumptive cause-and-effect relationship between hypertension and chronic kidney disease. If a patient has all three conditions ...
Print Post. Hypertensive heart disease refers to a group of disorders that includes heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and left ventricular hypertrophy. It is the number one cause of death associated with high blood pressure.
Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: The codes in category I13, Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease, are combination codes that include hypertension, heart disease and chronic kidney disease, and should be used when there is hypertension with both heart and kidney involvement.
CKD should not be coded as hypertensive if the physician has specifically documented a different cause. The appropriate code from category N18 should be used as a secondary code with a code from category I12 to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease.
