Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with unspecified diabetic retinopathy with macular edema
ICD-10 E09.311 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with unspecified diabetic retinopathy with macular edema.
E09.311 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, leading to complications such as diabetic retinopathy characterized by macular edema. This condition arises when certain medications or toxic substances disrupt normal glucose metabolism, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. The presence of diabetic retinopathy indicates damage to the retinal blood vessels, which can lead to vision impairment. Macular edema, a common complication, occurs when fluid accumulates in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. Patients may experience blurred vision, difficulty reading, or other visual disturbances. Management of this condition typically involves controlling blood glucose levels through insulin therapy or oral hypoglycemic agents, monitoring HbA1c levels to assess long-term glucose control, and addressing the retinopathy through ophthalmologic interventions. Regular follow-up and comprehensive care are essential to prevent further complications and preserve vision.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and management plans.
Patients presenting with new-onset diabetes after starting a specific medication.
Ensure clarity on the relationship between the drug and diabetes onset.
Visual acuity tests, retinal imaging results, and treatment plans for retinopathy.
Patients with diabetes presenting for routine eye exams showing signs of retinopathy.
Document the extent of retinopathy and any interventions performed.
Used for follow-up visits for diabetes management.
Document patient's diabetes management plan and any complications.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive diabetes management documentation.
Common drugs that can induce diabetes include corticosteroids, certain antipsychotics, and some antihypertensive medications. It is important to document the specific medication responsible for accurate coding.
