Q&A: Sequencing ESRD, HTN, CHF, and diabetes. Code I13.2, Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure and with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or ESRD, is a combination code that represents all three conditions found under DRGs 291-293, Heart Failure and Shock as a principal diagnosis.
Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure and with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, or end stage renal disease. I13.2 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 I13.2 became effective on October 1, 2018.

The example you provided does go to DRG 291, Heart Failure and Shock, with MCC. Both HTN and diabetes may be the cause of ESRD and may require a query to clarify the cause.
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.
Code N18. 6, end-stage renal disease, is to be reported for CKD that requires chronic dialysis. relationship between diabetes and CKD when both conditions are documented in the medical record.
End Stage Renal Disease ESRD is reported as 585.6 in ICD-9-CM and N18. 6 in ICD-10-CM. Additional guidance is provided in ICD-10-CM under N18. 6 to use additional codes to identify dialysis status (Z99.
Documenting the stage of CKD—not the GFR—is vital for accurate coding. If the stage is not documented, then code 585.9, Chronic kidney disease, is assigned. If a provider documents both a stage of CKD and ESRD, then only the code for ESRD (585.6) is assigned.

Code I13. 2, Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure and with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or ESRD, is a combination code that represents all three conditions found under DRGs 291-293, Heart Failure and Shock as a principal diagnosis.
This code would be a focus of clinical documentation improvement, as stages 4 and 5 are complication/comorbidity (CC) diagnoses, and ESRD is a major complication/comorbidity (MCC).
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.
The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn't code both.
A patient with the diagnosis of ESRD requires chronic dialysis. Per the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, Section I.C. 14a. 1, If both a stage of CKD and ESRD are documented, the coding professional would assign code N18.
If left untreated, CKD can progress to kidney failure and early cardiovascular disease. When the kidneys stop working, dialysis or kidney transplant is needed for survival. Kidney failure treated with dialysis or kidney transplant is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Learn more about ESRD.
The final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is referred to as stage 5 CKD, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At this stage, your kidneys are about to fail, or you're already in kidney failure.
