Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney disease
ICD-10 E11.22 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney disease.
E11.22 refers to Type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). This condition arises when prolonged hyperglycemia leads to damage in the kidneys' filtering units, resulting in decreased renal function. Diabetic CKD is characterized by the presence of albuminuria, a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if not managed effectively. Patients with E11.22 often present with elevated HbA1c levels, indicating poor glycemic control, which exacerbates kidney damage. Management typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including lifestyle modifications, strict glycemic control, and possibly the use of medications such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs to protect renal function. Regular monitoring of kidney function and HbA1c levels is crucial to prevent further complications and to tailor treatment plans effectively.
Detailed records of diabetes management, including HbA1c levels and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with uncontrolled diabetes and signs of renal impairment.
Ensure documentation reflects the relationship between diabetes and CKD.
Comprehensive renal function assessments and treatment plans for CKD.
Patients with diabetes presenting with worsening renal function.
Document all interventions and their impact on renal health.
Used to monitor glycemic control in patients with diabetes.
Document the date of the test and results.
Endocrinologists should ensure regular testing is part of the management plan.
HbA1c levels are crucial for assessing long-term glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes and can indicate the risk of complications such as CKD.
