Cardiorenal syndrome encompasses a spectrum of disorders involving both the heart and kidneys in which acute or chronic dysfunction in 1 organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ. It represents the confluence of heart-kidney interactions across several interfaces.
When you look up “syndrome, cardiorenal” in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, it will direct you to reference “hypertension, cardiorenal,” which leads to ICD-10-CM category I13. - (hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease).
Hypertensive heart disease is a long-term condition that develops over many years in people who have high blood pressure. It's a group of medical problems ― like heart failure and conduction arrhythmias ― that can happen when you don't control your high blood pressure (hypertension).
The combination of hypertension and hypertensive heart disease is currently coded using the ICD-9 402. xx series of codes. As noted earlier, each category is currently divided into malignant, benign, and unspecified essential hypertension with or without heart failure.
The term "cardiorenal syndrome" (CRS) has been applied to these interactions. The prevalence of impaired renal function in patients with heart failure (HF), the diagnosis of CRS, and the mechanisms by which acute HF leads to worsening kidney function (type 1 CRS) will be reviewed here.
The diagnosis of CRS is based on both blood tests and ultrasound imaging. Several biomarkers indicating levels of heart and kidney function have emerged over the last few decades which can be used to predict kidney failure in patients with acute or chronic heart disease.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs when the kidneys suddenly fail due to an injury, medication, or illness. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the gradual loss of kidney function mainly caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, and an inflammatory condition known as glomerulonephritis.
When coupled with Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Kidney Disease can worsen and vice versa. This results in worsening fluid retention and increased shortness breath, edema and electrolyte abnormalities. CKD & CHF can sometimes be a complex, vicious circle and is often difficult to treat.
Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure that is present over a long time. Hypertension is a disorder characterized by consistently high blood pressure.
The code for essential (primary) hypertension, I10, does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension. heart disease: I11. 0 (with heart failure) and I11. 9 (without heart failure).
For this patient, CHF and hypertension would be coded as code I11. 0, Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure since the causal relationship is assumed due to the word “with” following the main term in the Alphabetic Index under hypertension. Since the heart disease falls within the code range of I50. - or I51.
Hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders I15. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I15. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Any condition in I13 specified as a reason for obstetric care during pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium. Use Additional. code from I13 to identify the type of hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease. Use Additional: O10.3.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM I13 became effective on October 1, 2020.
The ICD code I13 is used to code Hypertension. Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure, is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.
Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100–140 millimeters mercury (mmHg ) systolic and 60–90 mmHg diasto lic. Hypertension is present if ...
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.
