The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
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:
end stage renal (ESRD) N18.6 renal (functional) (pelvis) N28.9 - see also Disease, kidney end-stage (failure) N18.6 Failure, failed renal N19 end stage (chronic) N18.6 Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
Other general symptoms and signs
The ICD-10-CM code for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3 (N18. 3) has been revised for Fiscal Year 2021.
N18. 31- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3a. N18. 32- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3b.
ICD-10 code: N18. 5 Chronic kidney disease, stage 5.
ICD-10 code: N18. 4 Chronic kidney disease, stage 4.
Stage 3a means you have an eGFR between 45 and 59, and Stage 3b means you have an eGFR between 30 and 44.
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 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.

ICD-Code I10 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Essential (Primary) Hypertension. Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 401.
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.
Impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning of the kidney.
The end-stage of chronic renal insufficiency. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of proteinuria) and the reduction in glomerular filtration rate to less than 15 ml per min (kidney foundation: kidney disease outcome quality initiative, 2002). These patients generally require hemodialysis or kidney transplantation.
A disorder characterized by gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function resulting in renal failure.
This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years.
Their main job is to filter wastes and excess water out of your blood to make urine. They also keep the body's chemical balance, help control blood pressure, and make hormones.chronic kidney disease (ckd) means that your kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood as they should.
