Intradialytic hypotension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of less than 100 mmHg or a systolic blood pressure decrease of greater than 10 mmHg, or a mean arterial pressure decrease of greater than 30 mmHg with or without symptoms.
This is a clinical diagnosis that relies on the review of the blood pressure values and the patient’s symptoms
What are the potential risks associated with recurrent intradialytic hypotension?

I95.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hypotension of hemodialysis. The code I95.3 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code I95.3 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like dialysis fluid adverse reaction, hemodialysis fluid adverse reaction or hemodialysis-associated hypotension.
You usually go to a special clinic for treatments several times a week. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen, called the peritoneal membrane, to filter your blood.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I95.3:
Unless you have a kidney transplant, you will need a treatment called dialysis. There are two main types of dialysis. Both types filter your blood to rid your body of harmful wastes, extra salt, and water. Hemodialysis uses a machine.
Also called: Hypotension, LBP. You've probably heard that high blood pressure is a problem. Sometimes blood pressure that is too low can also cause problems. Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time your heart beats, it pumps out blood into the arteries.
Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time your heart beats, it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure.
If your blood pressure reading is 90/60 or lower, you have low blood pressure. Some people have low blood pressure all the time. They have no symptoms and their low readings are normal for them. In other people, blood pressure drops below normal because of a medical condition or certain medicines.
Because ICD-10 can be a distressing topic, let's start with some good news: Hypertension has a limited number of ICD-10 codes – only nine codes for primary hypertension and five codes for secondary hypertension. This makes the task of coding hypertension relatively simple – well, at least compared to some of the other ICD-10 complexities.
In most cases, you would use one of the following codes found in chapter 5 , “Mental, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders”:
As physicians, we are well aware that hypertension is never truly “benign,” and the removal of this antiquated term is a welcome improvement in the lexicon of diseases. But, of course, nothing is easy in ICD-10, and there are several things you need to be aware of before we dig into the codes themselves.
When an individual has hypertension and heart disease, it is up to the provider to determine whether there is a causal relationship stated or implied. This relationship determination is spelled out in the “Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting” (draft 2014). 1
